The really sad part is that a thousand dollars would not buy a month of rent within that picture.

Think about that for a moment. One month of compromise for a sick wheelset.

my Profile Elite wheelset cost me almost 3 months of flyover-land rent, but those are 26" wheels on my dirt jumper. still don't have a 20" bike yet. i was going to this month, but now i'm off work for a week or more due to an on-the-job injury so i wouldn't even be able to ride anyhow.

The only thing stopping me is the fact those are the loudest and most annoying hubs.

33 feels big for freestyle. you're using a bashguard i assume? hell i run 30-11 on my 26" dj and sometimes i want a bashguard for the skatepark.

33/9 works out to 73-75ish inches depending on tire size so I think he's more into just going fast.

no bashgaurd or anything. I'm also not doing a ton of spocket stalls or anything.
33 nowadays is giant, but it's perfect for people who want a BMX that can actually move somewhere with speed. I hate pedaling and not going anywhere.

that man is running 4 pegs and brakeless on a 20" cromo frame (eyeballing). really gives the impression that he's doing freestyle tricks. pic is also in SF Bay Area, which is absurd for running 73 inches unless you're walking or sidehopping all the way up every hill.

I wasn't always on 33/9. I swapped around
25/8
26/8
25/9
26/9
28/9
32/9
26/8 was sick, but 8t are super hard to find, so I stuck with 33/9 just because repairs will be easier

Why don't you try 29/9 or 33/10? Those are closer to 26/8.

Oh great, you can go down a flight of stairs faster than a regular bicycle, stairs that span about 6'. Enjoy cracking your head on the pavement the next time you try to pull off that "sick" grind.

I have some ratchet wrenches with sprag clutches. Low engagement angle (instant?), and they're absolutely quiet. Cool.
