Title: Haro Pro or something else?
Post by: Super Rocket on March 29, 2012, 06:42 PM
Hi I'm new, VERY new!

After a bit of advice - I'm looking at buying an adult BMX to be used on a small BMX track. I'm 5'5" and will only use it on tracks etc. - I'm a bit crap at tricks!

So, am I in the right ball park by looking at a Haro Pro? Or should I be looking at something else? I'd like it to be lightweight if possible, but about the budget of the Haro Pro.

Cheers guys!

Yeah you're in the right ballpark. Most adults will be on the Pro XL model though, which isn't that huge despite the name.
Another thing to consider is that about 2 years ago they came with cranks that were not up to the job - I think this has since been remedied.

Cheers, thanks for that :)! Hoping to buy one next week, so I'll check out the XL when I'm in the shop and see which one suits best.

Do Not put carbon forks on it though, its way too light then, my lad loves it, but he's a skinny streak of piss

Ha cool - looks good! It's looking like I need the XL then and I'll stay away from carbon forks ;)

Cheers
