How To Install A Press Fit Bottom Bracket

March 22, 2017

You really should know how to properly install a press fit bottom bracket on a BMX bike…

In a world where BMX bikes have been simplified A LOT since their inception and constant innovation, there are plenty of things an average person can do to work on and maintain a BMX bike. Unfortunately, sometimes things are a little more complicated than they might seem. The guys over at The Merged have noticed plenty of How To videos explaining just how to install a set of BMX cranks, but they seem to always breeze on by the installation of a bottom bracket. With the vast majority of BMX frames taking the press it Mid bottom brackets these days, they decided it was time for a How To explaining the fine details of installing these bearings that keep your cranks spinning. Although it might seem as simple as “bash the shit out of the bearings until they are in place”, there are a few details you might not know are important to the process. You can check out the full how to explaining what it takes to install a press fit bottom bracket over on The Merged Website — Pressing Issues: How To Install a Press Fit Bottom Bracket

United – Nathan Williams “Still United” Files

March 22, 2017

The extras from the United Bike Co. “Still United” video keep on flowing. This time around we get just about 4 minutes of raw goodness from Nathan Williams to check out. These clips are all b-roll, crashes and extras that didn’t make it into the final part, but it’s Nathan… So “scraps” are still damn good by most of our standards. Take a look!

“If ever there was a riding perfectionist, it’s Nathan Williams. If it doesn’t meet Nathan’s sky high expectations of himself then it doesn’t get used, end of. Watching the extra clips from his NORA Cup winning Still United section is not your usual “leftovers video”… one of our favourite bike riders on the planet. What a beast.

BMX Theory – More Pegdal Testing

March 22, 2017

The other day we posted up a video Kyle Mileski put together showing you how he made the PEGDAL which combines a pedal and a peg, all in one. After the video came out, it got a lot of attention and people calling out that it doesn’t work better than plastic pedals, or that he should just install one of those flat grind plates that people made back in the day. Kyle decided to do some scientific testing to see just how the Pegdal compared to plastic and metal pedals when it came to Luc-E grinds. Here’s an in-depth analysis that shows you all the proof you need that the Pegdal is far superior than any other option… This is serious business.

Just incase you missed it, here’s a link to the first video: BMX Theory – The Pegdal

Sneak Peek: Merritt BMX – Tiffany Blue Colorway

March 21, 2017

Here’s a little sneak peek action for you. Merritt posted up this photo giving us a look at some of their new Tiffany Blue parts that will be available the summer. This color will be available on their tires, grips and pedals, so you’ll be able to give some rad accent color to your bike if you chose to do the whole kit. We’ll keep you posted when these parts become available!

We were curious what it might look like on a bike, so we decided to try and match it on the BMX Color App and this is what it turned out looking like.

At Home with Kurt Rasmusson (2009)

March 21, 2017

Snakebite are always digging up the gold from the past. Here’s a gem they just uploaded from 2009 that features Kurt Rasmusson get some riding time in around his family’s house. We’re not quite sure what this was filmed for originally, or if we ever saw the video when it first came out, but it’s a good one! Hit play to watch him shred their pool and a ramp setup he had. Kurt had a pretty short pro career and, if we remember right, he went on to be a cop. Either way, footage of this guy is always a treat. Enjoy!

“Dean Dickinson put together this edit of Kurt back in 2009 of him shredding around his house. Wish we could have seen more footage of Kurt but sometimes some of the best are in and out quick!”
