I went to a 680mm width bar and love the huge difference in control. Ten minutes to change everything over. I think I paid around$14 on Ali express for them and still use the stock forks
Can I use my XP to go mountain bike trail riding
- Thread starter intohouse
- Start date
Check this guy out...
That was the first video I saw to inspire me to make the swap. It also served as a base line for my parts list. My BMX bars will be in today, so hopefully I'll do the swap this weekend if the kids allow it.
I saw that video also.Just from the design of the xp I wouldn’t get crazy with it off road but some light duty fire road type stuff or single track will be fine.It definitely steps up a couple notches with this bmx set up for off roading.
Update:
After another week+ of riding, the air fork has made the off-road experience much more enjoyable. Before the upgrade, my arms would be itching from the rapid vibration after about 5-10 minutes of riding on the terrain in my area. Now I don't get that feeling even after 30 minutes continuous riding. I have not yet adjusted the air pressure, but in stock form at my weight of 170lbs, it greatly reduced the jarring impacts. It's hard for me to do a before and after comparison on handling, as I now have 29" wide BMX bars in a more forward position. This has greatly changed the dynamics of the bike.
Unfortunately, I haven't ridden much these past few days as I decided to take a tree on, and lost the battle. Bike is still good, but I'm still healing lol.

What are the correct specs for the 11-34 freewheel? I see there are differnt thread diameters. Thanks in advance

Not sure what you mean. It's a free wheel...not a cassette..there's only one style...

I added the suspension seatpost, son did the front suspension conversion, removed the long stem and put on motox bars, hydraulic brakes and it rides real nice. Much more stable once the long stem was removed-the downside is now it is a PITA to fold...
Pictures coming...

Love the leather look on the grips and seat...
Amazon lists two of these. One says it has 'Screw On 34mm thread' and the other says 26mm thread.
