Bmx Setup Ime Needing Help

[Swize]

Before anyone says about the bmx thred in the FAQ i did post but no one replied and there mayn bmxers on here who no what there talking about.

Ok what i have on at the moment

Dirt harry lever and a rear maxxis hook worm with eastern bars and stem that are stupidly heavy .

What i need to no is what things should i buy i dont want to spend a stupid amount on parts soo :) bit stumped with what to get.

I want a new chainring and i want it to be small thing is i can only run freewheels on the rear.

Was looking to run and oddise elvolver brake with some kind of slick cable but what pads?

Looking for a nice light rear wheel but what rim to go for ?

Steam not a clue either.

Bars (Y)

Cranks no clue either

I would like to make the bike lighter as at the moment its a tank.

Any advice and replys ime thankful for.

Cheers Sam

i appologise in advance for shit grammer and shoddy spelling :)

right, brake setup. the dirt harry is an exelent lever. leave it on. get an oddy linear slick cable, abny colour. either get a primo e brake of an evolver, these both come with good pads(the e brake ones are a little better) and if you need a little more stoping power think about the v flys or heatsink blues.

get some beringer bars, or if your weight conscious beringer lights.

for light cranks, go for powerbites or holowbites i guess, or if you have the money some rnc's (lifetime waranty). to be honest i would just get some wtp royals or the smack dadies. they arnt that light but they'll last and are nice and cheap.

stem, i would advise either the elementary or the superstar stem. both very light, good looking stems.

for a new chainring, there are loads out there, im guessing your running a 13t at the moment so its got to be 36 or pushing it 33. i think the primo analog is quirte nice, along with the wtp sterio and some of the macniel stuff.

if you want a nice light wheel set, get the hazard light wheelset. i think you can stil get the rear lhd wheel on offer from http://www.pijin.com but if you get lhd make sure your cranks are compatible. for the front, a macniel hub on primo balance would be nice and light.

for tyres. i find the shoadow undertone to be extremley grippy, mark who i ride with likes the oddy path. they are both exelent rear tyres. for the front i run a maxxis m tread, it rolls very fast and is nice and grippy, v monsters seam to be very popular front tyres. i also liked the primo wall (when i had it).

hope that helps, any more questions, just post away.

oh ye gearing should be as followed (usuall)

I would strongly recommend not skimping on cranks, and just go and buy some hollowbites or powerbites straight away, that way your sorted for cranks for a long time.

Chainring, if you can afford too, get a tree sprocket, that way you are also very much sorted for a chainring for a long time.

Tyres, I run a V monster 2.1 on the front and a Ody path 1.95 on the back, and it's perfect for me, but I only ride park 99% of the time, and they are not very strong for street.

btw: it's 23:8 :)
