    I wonder if I could still fit on a bmx bike...

    Why such a small sprocket, and why is the seat so low?

    Sprockets are small to save weight and rotating mass for better acceleration. The front is 25 teeth and the rear has 9 teeth.

    The seat is low because in BMX you hardly never sit down so it's low to keep it out of the way when doing tricks.

    Hell, I might be in Milan next weekend. I'll bring the bike and get a hold of ya. LOL

    Right on. Back when I rode the seat was at the height of my knees while standing up on the bike. That way I could pinch the seat with my knees for no handed stuff (barspins).

    That to...

    Side note: I'm happy as hell because I FINALLY after 5 attempts was able to properly fix my cassette. The spring was WAY out of whack. So I had to tweak it a little and adjust the preload and now it sounds and acts like it should. Before it sounded like a free coaster, nearly silent.

    No one guessed the change? I went front brake-less for a while. Just so I could paint my Oddyssey forks. Now I got front brakes again. I got a few shitty vids from today with my digi cam.
