40 years of riding bikes and I have seriously never really thought of, or looked at the difference in wheel hight with different tires. That was crazy. Besides the ride, the aesthetics of a bike can suffer from the wrong tire.
@COSMO smaller tires are for bmx pump track racing. big tires are for park and street bmx tricks.
The ultimate tires are Vee Speedsters 20X2.00 awesome tires. Roll fast. Grip well and wear long.
Phu is the man with the knowledge
Dat guy knows a lot about his trade! Love it
As a 41 yr old who just learned how to ride a bike 3 years ago this is really really helpful and answered the question i have been wondering about. Many thanks brother!
🙌🏻🙏🏻
That BMX shop is Siccc 💯💯💯
Phu makes me nervous swinging frames and wheelsets over the glass
not only now, every video...xD
4:03 is EVERYTHING you need to know about fitting tires on different size rims... Priceless info! 🔥🔥🔥
When I raced back in the day from 86 to 92 I ran a 20 ×1.75 in the rear and a 20 ×2.125 in the front. I was a big guy for my age and it handled better in the corners. Most of the pros were running the same. Man I miss racing...
You can still race, but gotta be more careful mate.
Thanks for helping people understand tires better. I appreciate it.
I live in a whole ass different country but I’m just glad phu knows so much i hate walking into a shop where you can tell the owner or person working there knows nothing
Dropping gems like a thief on the run with these videos. Thanks Phu!
Fisted that girthy Cox frame with the weirdest look in his eye tho 😂
Love how you got the inventory just jammed in there. All the bike shops I've been in have 1 or 2 sets of one style pedal, bar, or tire. Or an empty spot for the item.
FR! Then they say support your local bike shop..How am I supposed to do that when they don't have anything I'm looking for,might aswell save me the trip and order online
Thank you for all this information. I was trying to figure this out and you explained it perfectly.
Old skool trick I do take the old tube cut the valve stem out slice around the inside and wrap it around the new tube, found I was using less pressure and not getting blowouts quite as often.
I’ve been running cult AK tires for a long time now, I bought every pair of stock that was left since they don’t make them anymore lol. Awesome and informative dude thanks, 2.5 gang for life 🤙
I trust Phu, he's the guy i would refer to before i decided to buy any parts of bmx
Great info, I watched it twice just so I didn't miss anything!
Thank you again for these videos looking to get new tires needs to know what size I needed
Thanks for the knowledge
Awesome video Alfredo & Phu thanks.
Thanks for the appreciation Scott!
Great video Phu & Alf!
Love this.
Another video!! It's like a POC "Piece Of Candy" Lol much love Alf & Phu!!
Hahahaha hellyesss
I’m so glad I saw your video. I was about to order a wide tire for a 1979 vintage Mongoose frame .
Thanks for the info on the 2.4 tube. I have the Williams tires and was wondering if it needed a special tube.
In the late 90s, it was standard to have a 2.125" front with a 1.5-1.75" rear
I follow you!, awesome information!, just like all your vids! Thanks
In Uganda we ride all as long as we riding cause we dont have bmx shops damn!!
This man is elite! 😅
That he is!
I use 20x2.1 tube to my tires bhive 2.4size and its work really fine.
He is true... I'm essembled 2.3/2.4 tube on 3.0 tire... It's working with no problem at all...
Kudos for talling about the inner tube so people know. Btw you always manage to have a gt product in there,nice,lol
Love my shadow 2.4s 🤘🤘
Phu here's a good one for you... years ago back in 80s when I was a kid me and my friend put a 24inch mountain bike tube into an 80cc motor bike and it worked OK for about 3weeks
Cool vid, love this channel! Question, I have a 2021 Mongoose L100 with 2.4" tires and want to run a front brake cable thru the stem and fork but I know there will not be enough clearance with these tires. What size do you recommend? I don't want to go to small and was thinking of trying 2.2"
you could get wider forks
Thank you for that I'm trying to get pink tires for my kid and her bike I got has 2.25 width and I can only find 2.1 width
Love it. My street sweeper v2 tire looks smaller than the originals I need a caliper to measure. They look tremendously different.
Love phu!
That’s the best way to find out for sure!
The sidewall is narrower/rounded on the V2 so it doesn’t catch while grinding and the center contact patch is wider on the V2.
my favourite part is when Phu says "but guyz"
11:04 LOL Pretty much 😂 once my shipment got fucked up and I got 18" tubes instead of 20" I just stretched em in there and they were fine.
I have those Williams tires (only in purple)! They're an LP tire with a max PSI of 60, so they have a softer landing than an HP tire. They're also really quiet on the road (compared to my original Primo V-Monsters)
I learned so much about tires, tubes and fisting!
my diamondback had a bigger front tire but the rear barely made clearance around the v brake arms making it impossible to upgrade to a bigger ones so I used a ziptie to create an arch away from the tire. Was rocking some super skinny knobs now I Ride on a matching set of maxxis torchs with dialed in shimano v brakes
Many vert riders back in the late 80s including myself rode 2.125 and wider pool tires back then.
Bro.. that nathan william tyre..can work in a fork odyssey r 32? Or the tyre touch?
I knew that was a Cinema just by the thumbnail,One of the best looking tires on the market
Hope phu is doin good man. I know he was a little bummed wit his son bouncein out man. Stay up phu!
BITD my OS race bike came with a 1.75 on the back and a 2.125 on the front 👍
Muchas gracias por los subtítulos Alfredo.
LETS FUCKEN GO!!! SHOUT OUT FROM Los Angeles
Great video and info. Tires are tires just like cars you can go narrow and be Hella flush or go wide and be Hella thick
what tyre setup would be least puncher resist with this type of thinking
Great video. This was very helpful for me. I have a 1999/2000 Dyno Compe I'm working on. I got some mag wheels with 2.4" tires. Dont think the tires will work ! Hard to find 1.75 or 1.95
Wow good luck on your build, don't rush it and the internet is your friend.
Will a 2.30 tire rkm work for a 20x2.40 tire
20x2.25 fits on my old school bike no problem.👍
Cool👍I'll keep my old-school Araya's then. The 1.1/8" wide dirt tires are getting changed tho. I was hoping I could get 2.35" street tire to fit on a GT Nora cup pro🤔
I have a road bike with 700c wheels. I routinely use 26 inch tubes because where I live 700c is rare. Works like a charm. With my skinny tires the smaller tube makes installation easier actually.
good idea. 27" work perfect, some are marked both: "700c or 27" " , but probably would also rare where you are if 700c is rare. i get 27" tubes off amazon for $7.50 cad ea, it's the only size of tube on there(Canadian site) that's not a completely rip off
@@bmxscape I've used a 27 too. 26 just more prevalent too.
I wish I lived in your area. That shop is a wet dream 🤤 We don't have any shops like yours in Manchester anymore... We have to order everything online which can take days.
Way back in the early-to-mid 80's a lot of us ran 1.75" in the back and a 2.... up front.
What’s the biggest tire i can fit on a 95 GT performer ?
What was the weight comparison with the rims and tires.
what is the bigger tire i can fit on 25mm inner rim? cani use 20 x 30 tire on 25mm inner rim?
Since you're talking about fittings of parts. Please do the sprocket sizes on frames...
I would like to change my frame because 28t sprocket doesn't align properly with the cassette driver. I am wondering if fit mix tape v2 or s&m holy diver can accommodate a 28t or more...thanks.
size of sprocket does not have anything to do with chain alignment. you use spacers on the bottom bracket spindle to determine where your cranks/sprocket sit. alf made a video not too long about about how to install bottom brackets which also shows spacing the cranks properly.
@@bmxscape i am sorry if you got confused... what i wanted to say is, there are frames that you can't fit 28t or bigger because it will touch/hit the chain stay... and if you'll use a spacer, the alignment of the chain from the sprocket to the driver will be too much off set... that is why i am asking which frame can accommodate 28t - 30t sprocket that will not be off set with the rear driver.
I hope i explained it better this time.
As I've learned with sportbikes, if you put a wider tire on a smaller rim it will create a peak in the center from pushing the sidewall in which makes leaning abrupt and not smooth. Something to think about on a street type of tire like that
20x1.95 should fit that old school frame
Could I mount a 20x4 inch tire on a 2inch rim?
Hey Phu, look into TRIALS stuff. HUGE back rims and tires.good place to start is 90's Monty bikes
I Iove yuo man it's al have to do with pressure en right size ofcorse. Thanks for the info ✌️out 👌
Hell ya the tire and tube expand to fill the rim.
can i put springler fork to a modern bmx ?
can we put an 18 inch tube on a 20 inch wheel?
Please tell us which tires are best for mag wheels such as Skyway Tuffs. I bought 20x1.75 Panaracer tires for Skyway Tuffs but they just won't center. Tried soap, massaging, gradual inflation etc, still lopsided. Its emabarassing spending $2 on a bmx and still have wobbly tires. I also feel it when I ride on smooth road at 12mph. Checked the rims, rims are spin straight.
I'm using cult dehart tire👌👌👌
so i can fit 20 x 3.0 tire on 25mm internal rim?
Alfredo. What do you think about the shadow creeper tires?
They’re solid!
Might be possible to put a link in the chain to fit a slightly larger tire size in some cases (worked for my recent build). Why did the old school bmx race bikes run narrower tires on the back and wider ones on the front? It seems like the back would take more abuse and thats where the fatter tire might give a bit more cushion.
Speed. The front was only fatter to prevent washing out
Question . I have a 2021 big ripper 29 . I want to go skinny. Around 1.75 wide tire or less. In color can you please point me in the right direction. I'm lost
am i the only one thats paying more attention to the amount of brand new high end parts in different colors taking up an entire wall ? and then i saw the rest of the shop XD
How wide does my bike have to be on the back to fit 20” x 2.35
Snafu rim jobs had 2.10 I know for sure but I think they had even wider back in the day but you're right it was rare, I believe they were the only wider tire
The fatter the tire, the higher psi has to be to keep them from rolling off the rim under nonconcentric force. Good news is they have more give even with higher pressure so you don't notice on drops
Can I use a 20 X2.4 tire on a 20 X1.14 rim
Is your bike shop still operating as well your website
Good
What’s the best tire for vintage Mag Lite wheels?
I’m restoring a 40 year old Mongoose.
First:Always with the best Vids 👌
You da man!
Is this the bike shop at Burbank? In front of the cemetery?
Can I put 20x 175 tires on a 20x 125 rim???
Hey guys I just ordered a We the People Hybrid Utopia. On the WTP site it says it accepts 2.3” tires. But on other sites it says nothing about that. I have 2.4” tires, will they work?!? Thanks for your help guys!
That rim is damn good
It's ok if 20 x 1.95 tube and the tire was 20 x 2.40?
I have a "94 GT Pro series with a 1.75 in the back and a 2.1 in front (both GT skin wall tires) that should be replaced. Also have a "94 PK Ripper with GT skin walls (both 2.1) that should be replaced. I was thinking of putting two GT LP5 110 PSI tires on the GT. Since 2.2 looks to be the smallest size of these tires, I suspect they should work? Any reason why I should I avoid these tires or their size? On the Ripper, I was thinking of the same GT LP5 tires, the Odyssey Aitken (2.25 size) tires, or the Odyssey Super Circuit tires (2.1 size). Why are the Super Circuit tires so expensive, and could the "foldable" bead present any problems down the line? I initially thought about getting the SE racing Cub tires, to retain the old school look on the PK, but those skin walls are not that durable, and it sucks to have to replace them because those skin walls start breaking down. Thank you!!
Get a micargi bronco or ruff cycle you are totally correct
What if you normally ride 2.25 and want to go to 2.4 is that possible
Me riding bikes for 37 years & being a mid-school rider I prefer one brand of tire the Haro multisurface 1. X 275 & I always buy them in bulk & when I do I,ll wipe them down inside & out with Armor All just so they keep for a long time wile sitting on the shelf & I,ll do the same with grips to & I,ll buy them in bulk also & wipe them down with Armor All also . When I need new grips or a tire I,ll clean off the Armor All & let them air dry for a day or 2 & I have no problem doing this , there’s no slip from me putting it on once I clean them & they still feel & grip like new . I still have a bunch of Jive handle grips from 1989 & a bunch of Haro multi-surface tires from 1989 as well & I know for a fact that Jive went out of business & Haro doesn’t make the multi-surface tires in 1. X 275 anymore with the tan gum line side walls . I,ll die before I use up my grips & tires I swear & I have all my mid- school Haro,s that I had when I was a kid , I kept all 5 of them & I,m good on tires & grips for at least the next 30 years , see back when I was a kid I was smart with my money & 2 of are local bike shops went out of business & they both were having liquidation sales & that’s when I bought my grips & tires like 60% off so I had to snatch them up . Every thing is still like new thanks to the Armor All I put on them to protect them , yes I prefer the skinny tires to the big fat ones & I really don’t care for the sound these new tires make wile riding the pings & the pops when you land , nope that’s not for me , I want to hear the tick of my free spin hub , that’s what I,m use to & I,ll stick with that .
Cool story
I Wish I Seen This Video Before I Tried To Put My Camo Cult Vans 2.40 Tires On My Old School Dyno GT… 😒
Im so glad phu is holding bmx down
When I do the bar spin my bars land half way. What do I do. Do I give it more of a spin or am I throwing it to late?
Throw your seat up as high as possible and worry more about pinching your knees and getting more airtime
Thank you so much helped me a lot
That shopkeeper's way of speaking is like Terry Clew
I need me them 2.5 tires ASAP
"...'guys'..."
😂😂😂
