i should think they think a stiffer front wheel, i hate radial spoke patterns, as i had some road wheel done this way back in the early 90's , all i did was break them, so never again, its not too bad up front though, abit too rigid i think,  :buck2:

bmx would like to take a moment to thank YETI for all the years of support theyve given to our sport,
all the team sponsorship and rider development,
the grass roots enccouragement,
the money ploughed into promoting bmx and events theve put on,
the great bmx bikes that theyve developed over the years,
the videos theyve put out, the magazine adverts theyve invested in that keep the magazines going,

so thanks YETI,

for fook all.


just like the 80's all over again,
jumping on the bandwagon and cashing in on our sport,

fook yeti and the olympics,

the whole lot stinks and its not bmx.

(thats a hideous excuse for a bmx bike too, 53 eh? the average age of the mug that would buy it?)

Its okay for the front to be done like this but a rear wheel needs the spokes crossed due to the extra forces being exerted due to the freewheel being turned which would cause the spokes to twist and bend!!!  :daumenhoch:

Joe I think they built it for Graves and are not jumping on any bandwagon, not heard if they will make them available yet?

Watch Graves here:-

and here:-

deserves a custom frame from his sponsors dontcha think rather than a re-stickered frame???

 :) DINGO :)

dialledbikes:
It's probably a very nicely made frame, but nothing that special.  To be honest, I would expect something much nicer from Yeti.  That just looks like a cross between an Intense Sabot and a Haro.

I'm not sure Yeti will be jumping on the BMX bandwagon though Joe, as Graves rode for them already on MTB, so I think this is just a custom frame for him to ride at the Olympics rather than Yeti going into full on production.
