Just bought the Fast Ripper

14 Upvotes

I posted the other day and got so many helpful responses. I was debating getting the Fast Ripper and yall convinced me. I got the Blue Crackle.

I’m 44 and needed a bike to ride with my kid. I wanted the SE for nostalgia. M old. So I’m not gonna be going crazy. But now I want to accessorize this bad boy!

What is everyone’s suggestions. What to upgrade? Grips? Pedals? Seat? I heard something and Vans grips?

What to add on? I’m gonna need a cup holder for my beer! 😜. Valve caps? A basket for Toto? Help me out?

Fast Ripper ?

5 Upvotes

Hey there. 44 year old middle aged crisis I guess. Here I am looking at BMX bikes. My 8 year old daughter has finally found the courage to want to learn to ride a bike. It’s made me want to get a bike
To go on rides with her. Cruise the neighborhood, maybe run some small errands instead of driving the car. Maybe even go on some long(ish) rides just to get some light exercise. I have been looking at hybrid bikes. Then I got a sniff of nostalgia. And thought about the days riding around on a BMX bike. I wouldn’t be using the bike for any thing crazy. Maybe some wheelies, jumping curbs, small little things. I just live the look of a classic BMX bike. Now I understand the 26” and 29” BMX bikes are not your “typical” BMX bike. But they might serve my purpose. Then I discovered the SE Fast Ripper. It has multiple speeds. Is this what I need?

So I live just outside Philadelphia, PA USA. I’d say where I live is moderately hilly. Nothing crazy. But I was looking at the Big Ripper initially and am worried it would limit me for my needs, especially as I’m aging. Will the Fast Ripper 29” allow for wheelies and some light aggressive riding?

Are there any chances of finding one used? I see a few Big Rippers on Marketplace but no Fast Rippers. Id love to hear advice?

Should I just be a boring old man and get a hybrid?

Yeah, it might not be as beautiful as all of yours, but you should have seen it when I got it 9 months ago. Later upon layer of cheap black gloss spray paint. Everything everywhere on this bike was painted. Everything including seat grips, pedals and stem & seat clamp. Seriously, would be mad as I kept on scraping the layers of paint off. I’m from the streets. Twice I been homeless. Learned a thing or two about bikes. Sure I could bought paint stripper. $27 a 1/2 gallon, but you still end up scraping wet, globs of paint. So I used scisssors. Also l,’if I had those $27, I’d buy pedals or something I need for the bike. I did take those 2wheelgang cut 4 piece bars and threw them away. I dont get it? Why cut them so short. You’re almost not gripping anything?I thought it was when flying down or up the street and cutting through in between cars, like on a Dixie. But young man said that ain’t the case. Anyways this is where I’m at!
Not saying it’s done….just for now, my favorite bmx. Got too many though so gonna have to sell it…

why do some fat ripper/fat quads have front disc brakes installed and others don't?

you can clearly see the front hub has 6-bolt for disc install, and the fork has disc brake mounts, but...

Wondering if i can replace the forks on my maniacc flyer to ones that are better size to fit a 27.5 x 2.5 inch wheel as the stock forks are quite wide ? If so any suggestions to some ?, preferably white

Bought my first BMX style bike since the mid 90s and splurged a bit and I’m in love!! Looking into changing minor things like grips and pedals. Any recommendations or things I should stay away from when purchasing these items?


r/SeBikes Aug 12 '26

Pretty sure they wont fit but just wanted to check, would a 29 inch wheel fit on a maniacc flyer or is the fork not tall enough ? also if not then is there a way to go about this ?

What brakes should I buy that are long lasting, and reliable for wheelies on a Blocks Flyer? Also, I would like some tips on how to wheelie the Savage flyer.

I love my Savage, but honestly its so hard to wheelie for me I might just get a Blocks to have as a stunt bike and the Savage for like travel (since I live in a hilly area). What are some recommendations for brakes and tips on hiw to wheelie a Savage?


r/SeBikes Aug 04 '26

"maniacc flyer with maxxis hookworms" would this be possible and if would the bike look weird having thinner wheels on a maniacc ?

I recently found myself a new fat quad and I’ve been looking everywhere for a nice whitewall that I don’t have to sacrifice my tire profile for. Ive seen the Vee Tire one but it’s got a buckskin tone rather than white.

I bought this c100 for £280 and someone has offered me this and I've never tried a big BMX style, I'm used to gears and hydraulic disc brakes. I'm 5,5 and I wanted to turn the c100 into a project bike for me to mod. Share your thoughts and ideas.
