I got my christmas wish yesterday, picked up my Baja 5bSS. Under the tree will likely be a gold edition lunchbox.

Wow, everyone sounds like they are getting very cool gifts.

My girlfriend is keeping her gifts for me a secret even though I said I am not one for surprises. It's my Birthday over the festive period too so I hope to get a few things for my bmx I need

Guess I missed that one.
Well I got him the bike. I'll get the guitar for his birthday I seriously hope I remember how to put brakes together... It's been a long time. I was too cheap to pay the assembly fee. I just want to say its a darn good thing I can do these things since his dad ain't around.

from what i can remember, the last time i bought my kid a bike, the brakes were already mounted to the chassis, and the brake handles were attached the the handle bars. all i had to do was bolt the handlebars to the neck. and adjust them, of course.

i'm sure each manufacturer packages their stuff differently, though.................

I wouldn't worry mate, take the brakes off all together, that's what all the kids (here's my bike) these days are doing and you'll look cool for being abreast of the trends

I hope that BMX is not going on the road.Bikes with no brakes KILL people and that's not very cool at all is it.Its illegal and just plain stupid.

I used to use my foot up against the rear wheel and frame. Those were my brakes after my hand brakes went out. Musta rode all over like that for years.

Why?

I used to ride my bike with the foot to frame brake not because of no brakes, it was because they would never work that good no matter how much I adjusted them. (crappy dia compe )
