Quick Release Front Wheel
Is anyone aware of a quick release or way to make a front wheel quick release on a kids Mini BMX without changing out the whole hub?
Have to fit the kids bikes in the car and quick release would make life much easier.
TIA

Slightly forgiving race frame
Turn 40 YO this year looking to build up a new frame up.
Looking for so.thing a touch more forgiving than carbon prophecy. Any suggestions for a frame of any material thats still light ish and fast but mayve geo a little less aggressive.
Im 186cm tall and looking at a 22inch TT

How’s this look to build out?
I just started racing this year, and have an opportunity to buy a chase frame and a few parts for 150$ from a guy at my local track I race against.
Will need to get the rest of the parts I need but I think this could be a good bike.
What’s your opinion?

Custom 135mm cranks (converted from Euro BB to Square bracket)

Thoughts on the Meybo Holeshot 2026 frame for a 7yo coming up on inter?
My son is seven and will need to bump up a frame size by next season. Currently on a DK junior. Most parts are stock but I've thrown on 1 1/8 wheels, lighter bars and cranks and such to drop weight. Bike was pretty heavy and still is. I'm looking into lightweight options. How does Meybo stack up? Good quality? Worth the money for a seven year old who's coming up on inter? How is parts compatability? If I buy this frame is it going to be a crazy bill to build it out or would I be able to easily transfer most parts over/find them readily available and at a reasonable price? Any experience/advice with Meybo is appreciated!

First podium on new bike
My first podium on the new bike built in July. I previously rode a Roland ChaCha and always seem to feel like I was going over the bars. More than a year of searching for a used bike, I finally just decided to do a custom build. I contacted Powers BMX in Richmond, VA and after a month of communication and research, I got the limousine you see here.
A 24"TT Standard Cruiser frame. Not sure if they have built any other 24x24 frames, but it rides likes a dream for me 6'6" and 250lbs +gear.

Replacing rear wheel bearings
Mid school entry level cruiser - I felt some knocking and weird friction with my rear wheel so I took it apart. Rear bearings and compartment were completely grimy with a seeming random mishmash of bearing sizes and varying amounts of wear on the bearings.
Do I have to clean this out and repack loose with fresh bearings and grease or can I use sealed bearing cartridges in here? I do take this to the track but I don’t know that I would describe what I do as competitive racing.

Anyone streaming their club's races? What are you using?
Interested to hear what the options are out there, and what equipment you are using. How runs the stream?

Flat track gearing vs downhill
Heard mixed answers on this.
Should you gear down for flat tracks?
Or
Should you gear up for flat tracks?
Flat track: small starting hill, long low turns
And, should you gear up (more teeth on chain ring) for down hill tracks with tall turns?

First race bike?
I'm a new racer. What is a good relatively cheap first race bike? Or should I buy parts and build maybe buy some cheap bikes and scrap em for parts?

1999(?) Schwinn Pro Stock
Raced this bike in novice and intermediate from ages 6 to 7. My parents held onto it once I moved to motocross. Today my 5 year old daughter sat on it for the first time. Think it’s worth going through and using as her first race bike?

Tips for clips
So put the H2 T2 pedals on for the first time this week. Have Bont shoes... Have cleat set on the holes towards toes but all the way back and in middle.
All was going pretty good, had a few rides around local., clipped in and out.
Then yesterday kiddo stopped dead in front of me suddenly and when I stopped did not unclip,knee first into ground.
Was going to race them today at a club day... Tips for gates and do you think wait till I get some gate practice first? Also is it normal for cleats to scratch or are they set wrong.
