8.25x27 is what my united grandes are at, solid setup. I ghetto grinded my hamiltons CS down to 13.25 and slammed it, wanna move it back out to 13.5 as is sharp as fuck but just too twitchy for shooting the 3s.
BMX may be susceptible to waves of trends but in no way would anyone ever want to put a brake on and not do it cos they were afraid of what their riding buds would say, BMX just isn't like that.
"that a brake m8? don't bovver coming out for a session with us again" said no one, ever.
as for the big bars, for people who have rough backs as a result of BMX it makes sense and the general consensus is it gives a bit more control and stability. simples
