Huffy BMX bike

[Carfanman]

Is Huffy a good BMX bike company?

And is this Huffy a good one?

[awd]

mediocre these days -- I wouldn't ride street with that thing. $400 will get you a half decent BMX.

What do you want it for -- street? DJ'ing? racing?

[Carfanman]

Street mostly. Right now Ive got only $100, maybe $150. Remember I'm talking in USD though, so that probably a little bit more in Canadian currency.

What about this bike? I dont see any pegs in the pic, but It looks like you can attach them to it if you buy them seperatly, am I right?

dont go mongoose or huffy really cheap names and product
i would recomend dk or haro or s&m and there are a few others but cant remember te names right now

[SaabKraft]

no no no no!

sorry, i've been a bike mechanic for 3 years.

for cheap bikes, try to find a Haro if you can. Hoffman's not too bad either, but their park bikes weight a ton. nice tubing though.

you'll regret not getting 3 piece cranks when you bought the bike, aftermarket's more expensive.

[awd]

Norco's line of BMX's are actually pretty nice and reasonably cheap too.

Haro!

Which haro would you guys recommend? Whats the price? I was looking at their site, and I dont see any prices. I will probably sound really stupid for asking this, but what are three piece cranks? I searched, but the only good site I found was this site, and in one of the columns, it says this:

There seems to be an unwritten rule in BMX that three-piece cranks are necessary. It's not so. A good one-piece crank set, matched up to a strong powerdisc and smooth bearing assembly, is all you need. If you have an "entry-level" BMX bike and are looking for something to spend money on, there are much better things, which we'll get to in a little while. One-piece crank users should be careful to check their cranks weekly for damage or bending. It's not hard to bend a one-piece crank and fail to notice it---don't make that mistake.

get a GT

I have a specialized 415 like new I might sell ya? Unless someone here puts it down and talks you out of it.
It's a decent bmx though ready for street or vert, in your price range. Origionally it was $469.

[Carfanman]

I actually happen to like building things for myself, and I was wondering if there are any good sites that tell you about all the parts that you need for a good BMX, explains what they all are and how they work, and tells you how to put them together.

Does anyone know of any site like that?

[Carfanman]

Ok, change of plans.


I dont have time to wait for $300-$400 before buying a good bike.

Whats the best BMX bike I can buy for $150 USD??

[Carfanman]

Bump
