S & M Hoder BTM xl build

Cool as, going to be a nice build.

I was lucky enough to ride quite a few eras of BMX. I had a Burner Aero in 1997ish as my first BMX when I was about 8 (still have it). It was old then but I loved it, so much so I have a collection of them now.

Always lusted after S&Ms though but never had one, I had the SLAM XLT bars with race forks when they came out and they were game changing. Most memorable S&M moment is seeing 2 translucent red and gold frames at Purdiswell skatepark in about 2004? What do you think they might have been?

Been looking out for a race bmx recently and my options are either a full blown disc equipped bike or a Steel panther/speed wagon.

I had a BTM years ago in the translucent gold colorway... Had to let it go due to a down size move. It rode nicer then my Sunday Funday

yep, subbed. this is still one of the most ridiculous things ever attempted on a bike: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2iOecsJpU8

Never seen that video before. Nuts.

I saw a clip from that video earlier- nuts indeed!
BB should arrive tomorrow
Probably won’t be built until mid Jan 25 as a few things coming up.
Will try and get a partial mock up / frame pics done over the weekend

Does anyone know the max chainring size at the front that will fit on these frames? 44t doesn’t fit. I don’t want to go to one of those tiny rings at the front really

44x16t :)? Are you still in the 90's? Do they even make those rear hubs still? Does it get double 48 spoke wheels too?
I'd recommend 30x10t.

This, get that chainring out of the way.

How rude 😱 BMX wise I have a 99 and 2 x 01 mid school standards all with 44/16 gearing so your observation is pretty accurate 😀
Rear is a profile mini so can get most sizes of cog . 30x10 is a pretty high gear?

Oh I see, I didn't know you could still get 16t for Profile hubs! Makes sense since they are also used for race bmx bikes.
I liked 30x10 but its very personal obviously.

Maybe a 15 rear 40t front- a bit of spin as it’s for street/park
Mock up with post and seat from the trls250. Stem is s &m off eBay for £10
Excuse the crap pic!
