Will small front motorbike suspension fit a bmx? like thumpster suspension


Iv got a 20 inch pie at home, maybe i should make a ebmx, they are just so uncomfortable to ride. but it would be pretty sick using the pie in a 20 inch rim
its crossed my mind a few times to try a women bike lol, they look like they have heaps of battery room

So i might get one of these, and use all my parts from my broken frame.


im not buying another expensive bicycle for an ebike.. most expensive ill go now is yubamundo style

YUK.

No - those are shit in mostly every way. 1" threaded headset (so you are stuck with the crap pogo-stick shock), garbage rear shock, thin walled tubing, ashtabula cranks etc etc etc.

Get yourself a proper 4130 chromolly frame, I may be tempted to part with my Merida Dakar 680 hardtail I crashed out on - my wife refuses to let me ride it again. Nothing wrong with the frame, just replace the handlebar It has proper cromo dropouts, and is really simple to put torque arms onto, rockshox dart forks, avid juicy 3 185mm disc up front, and a proper 68mm BB. Its regularly been up to 55Kph with nothing funny at all with the handling, and to 70 kph on occasion (ahem)

That said, a single speed for $100 - all the poor hipsters will be lining up!

I had a expensive cromo frame, bent that with my hpm5000b lol
and now bent my best aluminium frame with my magic pie...

I have one mid level aluminium hard tail. im going to just use that, i think its stronger than my specialized frame.... still aluminium tho... but atleast i can use all the parts from my specialized on it!!!
i do enjoy riding hard tail bikes
