Your BMX Brakes Still Suck? This Could Help

December 31, 2020

When it comes to maintenance on BMX brakes, there’s a lot of small things that can be done that could make a big difference. Brant Moore has put out a number of videos focusing on different tricks and tips on how to dial in your brakes. This time around he takes a look at a few things you can do like grease and lube to make your brakes smoother and ultimately work better. There’s a good chance you haven’t thought of one or two of these before! Take a peek!

“You’ve done everything you can think of to make your BMX brakes feel good, but they’re still not feeling the way you hoped…You’ve followed the previous videos on dialing them in, and everything seems right but they just aren’t smooth..Welp, this one is for you!

There’s a couple things you can do with your brakes even when you think there’s nothing left to do that can make them feel better than you ever thought they could and that’s exactly what we’re going over in this video!

To the most advanced brake riders out there, some of this may feel obvious, but everyone has to learn somewhere and even after almost 15 years of riding brakes, I still find myself forgetting some of these things.
So hopefully this one can help some of you!

July 29, 2019

Flybikes Manual CNC Brakes BMX

The crew at Flybikes have been working on a modern version of their popular CNC brakes from back in the day. The new Manual CNC Brakes and Lever are available now, so we figured it would be a good idea to take a closer look at these brakes that come in two versions; Classic and Springhanger, and two colors.

Sneak Peek: Flybikes – Manual CNC Brakes

February 21, 2019

Flybikes Manual CNC Brakes BMX

The other day we got a look at the new Manual CNC Brake lever from Flybikes, now we get a look at the new Manual CNC Brakes that will be dropping with the lever. Based off their original CNC machined brakes, Flybikes have made a few changes to improve on the originals to make them fit modern tire sizes and stronger, but they have also made them compatible with the traditional spring style and their Springhanger system that moves the springs from the arms to the cable bridge to simplify things. This is pretty cool since the two different systems didn’t work together before, but now you could technically switch between both styles if you would like. These will be dropping at the end of May, but you can get more details below, along with a drawing that’ll better show how both systems work.

“There is no better time than our 20th anniversary to bring back our very popular CNC brake back to life, now packed some new improvements. The refined and updated brake has a throwback look like our classic CNC version but now with the Springhanger technology option, too. Yes, one brake that works with two different bridge cable systems; the Classic system and the Springhanger brake system. The arms are built to be stiffer and to accept up to 2.50” tires giving you plenty of clearance. The Classic version also comes with thicker brass bushings for longer life and features the AKO “Allen Key Only” spring plates and adjustable A-hanger. The Springhanger option comes with an upgraded spring with a flat shape on the straight part for a stiffer performance and an anti-wobble adjustment that eliminates brake-wobble. We are so hyped to have come out with the smoothest, most responsive and best performing Flybikes brake to date.

Available May 31st in Flat Black and Titanium Fog through Flybikes dealers worldwide and online!” – Flybikes
