Obviously if you have read any of my previous blogs you know I&#39;m down with plastic, my only gripe being that you have to replace them relatively frequently, but something has got to give. One night I was checking out a couple spent Odyssey Twisted PC&#39;s that really didn&#39;t owe me anything, after a few sprocket grinds [...] zach@bikeman.com Wed, 21 Jan 2009 01:00:00 +0100 freestyle bmx http://www.bikeman.com/component/option,com_myblog/show,Homemade-Peg-Update.html/Itemid,135/ <p>So here are a few pics of the minipegs, so you&quot;ll have an idea what I&quot;m talking about and how to do it yourself. I&#39;m still pretty psyched on theses little guys they&#39;ve been tough as nails so far, and if nothing else it will make you grind with precision, haha, or else you&#39;ll fly off. I decided to run an axle nut before I put the socket on, just because I wanted a bit more length, I&#39;m a cheater.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><br />&nbsp;<img src="http://www.bikeman.com/images//zach [...] zach@bikeman.com Wed, 21 Jan 2009 01:00:00 +0100 freestyle bmx http://www.bikeman.com/component/option,com_myblog/show,Make-Your-Own-Pegs.html/Itemid,135/ Everything nowadays has to be light, BMX companies making&nbsp;porky parts have had to trim&nbsp;the fat more and more the last few years&nbsp;because&nbsp;nobody will touch them.&nbsp;We probably have the reputation as being the biggest weight weanies in the cycling world, even more than the spandex clad dudes or carbon roadbikes, thats bad. Oh well enough making fun of the gram counters, but keeping with tradition here&#39;s a way to shave some heft off your ride.

Winter is not a friendly time for your average BMXer, it&#39;s cold,&nbsp;your favorite&nbsp;outdoor parks, trails,&nbsp;or street spots are covered in ice or snow, so you&#39;re stuck inside watching old videos driving yourself crazy wanting to&nbsp;ride,&nbsp;how should you&nbsp;keep your sanity?

Used mostly in flatland, freecoasters seem to have made more of a presence in street lately, with 14mm axles and big sealed bearings, it opens a whole new bag of tricks. For my wheel I decided to go with the KHE Reverse, there are a who [...] zach@bikeman.com Fri, 21 Nov 2008 01:00:00 +0100 Product Reviews freestyle bmx
