Do Freestyle builds need to have..........

[Daletsunami]

Platform pedals and a Layback seat post?

Not a great lover of the layback but looking at a few pics most freestyle bikes seem to have them, not too bothered about the pedals as I think i'll be using DX's. It's just i've almost finished a build and want to make sure the last little touches are right

[rollin72]

the only reason i put laybacks on my bikes are because my im sick of my knees smacking the bars

[phantom photon]

[martylaa]

[Daletsunami]

Cheers lads, not a lover of the layback so i'm happy now  

nice freestyler by the way

[Daletsunami]

lay back dude 

damn!!!

Reckon i'm going to have to see what it's like build up then i'll make my mind up, at the minute it's sitting with a straight seatpost so that is what i'll start with

[JT71]

layback for me too.

 

[Mattdub]

I always used straight posts bitd so I could hold the grip & seat at the same time  .

Also for real good endos/miami hoppers ? I just found it better that the seat was out of the way .

[QUADROPHENIA]

used a layed back and was no problem to reach the grips

[telelogic]

best thing about bmx for me is that there is no "have to" no need to tress!

Do what you like, and enjoy
