Lol the only reason I ride a 29er is because im 6'2" and anything smaller I look like a damn bear on a circus bike! 😅🤣
I’m 6”3 300lbs is it comfortable? I really want 1
@@jerontenorton3673 definitely man go for it
@@jerontenorton3673 I've had the 29er for a little over a year now. And it's been comfortable and a blast to ride!
I'm 6'1 glad i look fine on a 27.5 😂 lighter too
Not one word about the physics behind it LOL
The chainstays being shorter and the hub of the back wheel being closer to the bottom bracket would make a difference I would imagine. Think about it guys (Phu voice) .... if the bottom bracket is further back than the rear wheel hub then you'd loop out because of the center of gravity.
Y’all awesome. Always entertaining
My favorite vlogz thanks G
I love learning from the book of Phu he says it how it is every time 👍🏾💙
I could Not wheelie before I bought my first big ripper in like 2017 so the 29” did help me learn but now I prefer a 26” blocks Flyer although it is smaller it’s all about brake control like Ethan said and also how max said the 26” is twitchier so easier to pull up and keep up and swerve
I’m a a 20 or so inch mongoose looking for my first bike, I’m about 5,5 135 pounds. Would a big ripper be right to learn?
They are aluminum and lighter Se Big Ripper.
Bought this bike two months ago. At first it felt kinda heavy for wheelies but once you get it up is really smooth

Smooth like ex lax! 👌
I used to wheelie anything back in the days, I have a gt street performer and seems really heavy nowadays, can't get it to that level of wheelie, any pointers, love the bikes bydaway guys not to mention that oldschool maxima, 🙌🏿👌🏿💯
I've had one for a while and could never get the wheelie up, ive been looking all over and its nice to know that it's possible. I will definitely practice alot more to do wheelies soon
I really need an EPIC BMX shirt! I'll even stop by the shop to pick it up!
Phu and the squad got a honey hole gucci bike shop alf always come with fire editing on the west coast adios brochachi
Great video, a lot of facts spoken
When I worked in a shop, I would jump on anything from our little 12-inch kids bikes up to our 29ers and wheelie around the store. Wheel size doesn't matter, but there are aspects of a setup that can make it "easier" to pop up and maintain the wheelie.
Bigger wheel = easier. Therefore it does matter
@@takeiteasy6346 For me personally, it's pretty easy on any bike homie.
the thing is you don’t want to light of a bike cuz mines is so light i can’t really keep it up
I thought I’d need a bigger bike for long wheelies but then I got some wheelie pegs on the back of my 20 inch bmx and went for it and realized that i agree with you,It does not matter! My bike came straight up with a pedal and was able to keep it up by tapping the back brake just like any other bike I’ve seen wheelie. Idk how it feels to wheelie on a bigger bike but I’d imagine it’s pretty similar
Width definitely matters ,it helps with balance from side to side leans
Thanks
Love your vids would be even more awesome to have a Rode Wireless Go mic or two 🤙
Full suspension enduro! I can only wheelie on my wife’s bike. It’s an Ibis mojo hd5 27.5, size medium. I normally ride a large.
Was dying after dude road by with one hand 🤣🤣🤣
damn.. i watched you and phu tutorial vid before knowing who ethan was lol. Thought he was just a young positive employee, little did i know hes one of the best street riders
Those corollas are SICK!
Max is serious when the chanclas come off…then you got sleeper nappin at the wheel on the 16 like it’s any given Sunday
Very serious!
Beach cruiser seat is looking fresh
U guys r Tha Best
Max has gotten really olde. HAHA. The years go by fast. Great video. Peace all from Chicago.
Entertaining video man
25t front 9t rear for a 20” with a 2.40 front 2.25 rear
Hey phu can you make a tutorial on how to make your own custom or signature bmx bike?
What a legend !
Would the devotion be a good first bike? 5’6 130
I have a question to anyone who has this bike, are the brakes good because I’m looking to get one I’m used to disc brakes and I’m wondering if these are just as good
what about air pressure. does that come into play on the bigger bikes.
Same shit. Depends on the tires and tubes.
Great fun video but that Corolla tho 👍👍
My friend picked up a 29 Haro and I’ve tried and tried to pull that up and Willie but can’t get it
Can anyone lmk what size frame I would have to get for a 5 ft 2 person on a c100 wheelie bike
The KE70 corolla 🤩
I got a flat tire went to bike shop .he replaced it then a couple hours my innertube just blow off, two times tried to fix it but still tube was exploded it again, my tire is 20*2.4 , what do you think what is the cause?, thanks
Tube volume capacity not enough. Make sure they go up to 20x2.4
Wich brand is better subrosa or cult? Let's say they where both 25"
Somehow the knees helped im always like grabbing the seat while wheeling
Great video, asking those questions and going back and forth was perfect
need a 24" they do the best to me.
personaly with me the smoother the wheel is the easier it is to wheelie
AAAYYYYYYEEEE I bought the purple 26" HARO
Wheelies on a mountain bike or bigger frame and wheels is smoother and easier, no doubt. Not to mention the sitting position. Doing this standing on a BMX with a slammed seat is not going to be as easy as sitting on a bigger more stable steed
Hey guys how can I get a epic BMX T shirt? I’m the guy that sent the sandals long time ago😅
Would love to buy a shirt and parts from the store
Yeah, I like that black epic bmx shirt, 8d buy 9ne too
i want that shirt!
Any tips on how to pop up a heavy ass 26’? My 26 is heavy as fukkkk and I can’t pop it up consistently
Easier gears
Can this bike be converted into a Fixed gear/track bike?
start smallish then work your way up i wend from 20in , 26in now im getting a 27.5in
Where is your shop? I d love to come by sometime
✅
Epic content 👊🏾🇵🇭
I just got. A big ripper 29 and I can’t get the front wheel up yet hahaha. Not yet.
The best Entertainment!
Does time move slow at the “epic bmx” shop?🤔
the percentage of each tire would be exactly the same in regards to diameter but if the widths vary then it would change tire to tire
What bike is the 26”?
Yo, let's talk about that te72 though
Wait....and a Cresta also?
Growing up me and my team would wheelie 20s around the city everyone lookednup to us, now kids are stunting on 26+ effortless. The size does .atter but if you learned smaller you can do all. I can wheelie 12" up.
I like the 24inch bikes for wheelies
👉😕!!!
Yeah “hey goat is that you on that roller coaster?” “Ahh no man they super imposed me “ ….. “ oh okay 👌🏻 “ … I’m wtf is super imposed? “ hahaha 😝
29 inch was smooth compared guys. Easy to see. Like Ethan sad brake control most of all. 100%. No brakes use your foot plebs. Haha
Show us the Corolla !!
What about learning on a BMX or freestyle bike with pegs?

Is that a Maxima in the back?
Hey guys! Please tell me what height of the willie expert? Thank you!
Is there a perfect size chain ring and free wheel combo to make it easier also??
what tires are those camo ones?
vans x cult
Every video were it is filmed in epic there would always have a 90s or 80s kdm car ina the background
Also does it matter on the stand over of the bike or the rear end of the frame?
Are those jorts getting shorter?
26in is perfect for me 😂
i started on a trek 26in hybrid and can wheeile farther than most people on 29in big rippers and shi
There are some people who are just natural born circus clowns that can do all of those tricks with ease.
I can not for the life of me do a wheelie but find doing manuals easy
I hear that!
Can anyone return a bmx bike from a shop after 2 months of riding it I'm trying to know but don't know how
Congrats you have been selected among shortlisted winners kindly message the above name to claim your price
Can u fit 29” rims on a 26 frame
Sure.
Fuck no
Yes but you will riding skinny tires foo sho. I did it on a couple of bikes including my 2013 se primetime bike but could fit a max tire of 700x36mm tire in back but much bigger in da front Frankie.
Did u ever get a chance to do so? I wanna try to put a set of 29's on my 27.5
Shit when I was young I was able to wheelie any bike 10 speeds, mountain bikes whatever even wheel chairs lol
It went together easily in less than an hour. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L Make sure the front fork is forward or the pedals will hit the front tire. Tires are both a little soft so it needs air before I ride it. The rear wheel didn't come with a clamp regular bolts hold it on. The front had the clamp. No scratches out of box. Rims are a little off with a slight wobble. They could have spent more time with the spoke tool fixing the run out. So far out of the box I'm happy with it. I did replace the pedals with a nice aftermarket set. After riding it a bit my A$$ is a bit sore so I ordered another seat. Overall I'm nearly 60 and didn't ride a bike in 30 years. I like my new 29" Schwinn. It will be used for casual rides with my friend.
max 😎🤙
The real question is ...Can you wheelie that '83 Corolla? kidding...What about brakeless wheelies? Does size matter?
Shouldn't matter, a buddy of mine used to wheelie a Haro Dave Mirra bmx bike no brakes and go far
I seen an 83 corolla wheelie in hunts point in the bx back in the day.
i wan start wheelin again i started in middle school onna 20inch nah i’m stuck between a 26 or 29
which one would ya prefer swervin on
Im 5,9 idk what to get 26 or 29
@@hartejnandra1402 i’m 5’9 too i think imma go with the 29” tho
Super
I think the 29 is easy 👍👍
shouldnt this video be titled angry shop owner says size matters for wheelies
Bike size is personal preference .
If a 29 was easier then Kurt Osburn would have used one on his world record wheelie from California to Florida .
At any rate this was fun to watch .

Size of the rider IMO. Skill helps too.
I can’t join the discord
Did Phil grow dreadlocks yet and if not why not? (Exhibit A of how long ago he said he would; ua-cam.com/video/gmm0QQwxNCA/v-deo.html)
Im 5,9 and im stuck on what to get a 26 or 29 if any1 knows about bikes comment and help
you got which one?
I ride bikes but I can't really I think the 29 is better 👍👍
Yes indeed David.
a wheelie bike is any bike that is 26 inch to 29 inch.
I’m like 5,5 and I have 29 inch
Do what is that bike called
Cult bmx
HOW THE FUCK IS ETHAN DOING THAT😂😂😂😂
I don’t really like 29ers. The big wheels are too much like a road bike.
I bought bike for FGFS and dude called it a wheelie bike. Not trying to be fad obsessed, but I hated that lol. No dude, FGFS.
What’s a wheelie bike? A bike that’s too big for you and has a saddle tilted at roughly 63* 😂
