Not being able to easily find replacements is a HUGE issue Free Agent! This is listed as a "park/street" bike, where you are going to destroy some chain rings. This of course also required me to change the chain and threw the gear ratio out the window with the incredibly tiny rear sprocket (the most common chain rings are 25T which actually barely clears the stays).
#Free agent bmx bike price mod#
After harassing my local shop for weeks I ended up having to go online to find one I could mod to work. It stretched and bent so bad after about a month that I had to flip it over and use the other bolt hole because the original had fatigued to badly, which invariably fatigued as well (metal fatigue caused I believe by bad heat treating). The chain ring on my bike was steel and incredibly weak.
The bars are really nice and seem to be pretty tough.Ī huge issue is that the bike comes with a 21 tooth front chain ring with non standard BMX bolt spacing (you can't find a replacement even from Free Agent). The rims and hubs are holding up much better than I expected at that price point (a double wall front rim would have been nice though). The frame is decent, I like the geometry. I have been riding this bike for a couple months and would like to share the ups and downs of the bike (primarily because I found no other online reviews). The shop referred me to the Free Agent Ratio. I went to a local shop looking for a BMX to run around the local bike park with my kids. About 2 months ago I got back into biking after a 10 year hiatus (due to injuries).
