That's cool as f*ck.

Supposing you don't have this issue as you run a BMX, and they only have a rear brake, but I recall another fellow on the forums who had muscle damage (IIRC) and had both of his levers on the one side of the bike.

Do you mean Tom Wheeler?

He had a crash, which damaged a nerve, essentially paralysing his arm.

Spring is stripteasing here. It's getting real old.

I've got a wheelset to order before I do anything. Going to get another Bombshell 275 wheelset me thinks. Might go get a Profile Elite Ti driver for it... Eek

Anyone here race a 26" in cruiser class? If so, what gearing and tire size are you running?

i would guess around a 1.9-2.1 for tire size, gearing, liekly around 55-60 gear inches, so gearing would depend on what style of cranks you have (mtb or bmx with " micro gearing " )

I raced my 4x bike at the local Pro Ams. I can't remember my gearing, but it was about the same roll out as a 42.5 16 on a 20". I either rocked the MK2 or my big boy tires

The dude has posted his race BMX. He noted he also makes custom Ti sprockets and cogs. People specifically asked if he could continue to share his work. He is doing that.

My apologies, I hadn't been following this thread particularly closely. When I come here, I tend to look for photos of BMX race bikes, I guess I'm misinformed by the title. Chainring is rad though.

Yeah dude, figured you didn't know so didn't wanna ransack you with hate. It's all cool. Dude's sharing something we asked for.

And by god does it look nice.
