Question

I just got a new bmx bike and its realy heavy how can i make it lighter?

Answer 1

buy some light parts take off pegs ect because they can be heavy,

Answer 2

Hey

I've got my own BMX so i know about about this

1. Pegs. If you dont use them it's no use having them there. Mine weighed 300gms each, that's 1.2 extra kilos if they're all on the bike.

2. The front brake. If you don't do flatland then on a BMX the front brake isn't really needed. (I'm just about to take mine off)

3. As other people have mentioned buy a lighter frame but that's only if you really want something REALLY light.

Answer 3

Usually the frame is heavy, change it

Answer 4

if you want a lighter bike, why didn't you start with a lighter bike? were you trying to save money? cuz now you'll spend more on the upgrades you would have got on a slightly more expensive ride..

Answer 5

if getting a new frame is not an option, then try a new set of forks and handlebars
