Depends on the bike frame..
The standard length of a BMX top tube is typically around 20 inches.
There is defiantly money in BMX from sponsor's, competitions etc. But to be able to do this you must be EXTREMELY good at BMX.
The advantages of using a rear BMX brake include better control and balance, easier tricks and stunts, and reduced risk of injury during sudden stops.
There are two different hub designs for BMX, freewheels and freehubs. You need to know what you have if you want to replace the sprocket by the rear wheel.
A spacer on a BMX bike is used to properly position the hub and ensure the wheel is securely aligned within the frame or fork. It fills the gap between the hub and the dropout, allowing for correct spacing of the wheel. This helps maintain the bike's geometry and prevents issues like wheel misalignment or rubbing against the frame. Spacers are essential for achieving optimal performance and safety while riding.
The top tube length of a BMX bike is important because it affects the rider's comfort and control. A proper top tube length ensures that the rider can reach the handlebars comfortably and maintain balance while riding. Choosing the right top tube length is crucial for a proper fit and optimal performance on a BMX bike.
It depends on the length of the chainstays on your frame.
If you have the right kind of rear hub and good balancing skills - yes.
For someone who is 5'9, a BMX bike with a top tube length of around 20.5-21 inches would be a good fit.
When choosing a BMX crank arm for optimal performance and durability, key factors to consider include material quality, length, weight, stiffness, and compatibility with your BMX bike's bottom bracket.
It'd be a fairly strange BMX if it has a gear shaft. Most "real" BMXes are single speed, their driveline consists of cranks, a bottom bracket and the rear hub. No gear shaft there.
At the rear they're called sprockets(unless you speak BMX, then they're called drivers), at the front they're called chainrings, or chainwheels(unless you speak BMX, where they might be called sprockets)
