There has been no shortage of jams and events going on down in Australia lately! Here’s a fresh video Lux BMX just dropped from the first Hellanora Bowl Jam that went down the other weekend. As expected, there was a big turn out and no shortage of bangers being thrown down. Check out what went down and expect to see this one return next year.

“Elanora bowl on the Goldcoast has become an iconic spot for deep-end bowl dudes. The local crew wanted to throw a jam and on Saturday the 11th the first “Hellanora” Bowl jam.
Thanks to all the dudes that made this come together. Enjoy a couple minutes of some of the LUX crew getting some laps in.

The crew at Lux BMX down in Australia are always throwing some great events. They recently threw a jam at the Archerfield park, and despite weather that didn’t quite cooperate, it looks like it was another real good time! Check out the riding and fun that was had rain or shine!

“The Archerfield skatepark is in a sleepy industrial estate in Brisbane. The perfect place for a bunch of BMX riders to meet up and ride some DIY obstacles for the afternoon. Supported by Bellmott coffee and Wethepeople bike co. LUXBMX host’s Gnarcherfield jam, the rain tried to put a stop to it but we managed to push through and have a sick afternoon!

Want to learn how to calculate BMX spoke length?

If you’re building up some new wheels, you’re going to need new spokes to go with them. Since every hub and every rim is a little different, the length of spokes are not always exactly the same, so there are a range of spoke sizes available. Lux BMX put together this fresh video showing you how to calculate the spoke length you need whether it’s your front wheel or rear wheel. Hit play and take it all in.

We do have a BMX Spoke Calculator on our website, but unfortunately we aren’t always able to get the hub or rim specs we need to update or get you an exact measurement from brands. This video above should help you out if you can’t find your combination you need.

“At LUXBMX our customer service team hear from so many of you every day! We love hearing from our customers but we also hope we can teach you guys a few things along the way.
In this week’s Frequently asked Fridays Ev discusses how to calculate your spoke length for your next wheel build, what the term ERD refers too and some little tricks to do all this.” – Lux BMX
