[Review] Haro F2

Article from BMX-Zone.com, http://www.bmx-zone.com/en-article-id-418.html

I have had this bike for over a month. I had choices between a chrome, black,red or yellow bike. I got the yellow one. it holds up very well. the cranks were loose though and i rode the bike with the cranks loose and they got stripped. the rims held up well for not being a triple wall.

I learned 180s so i bent the back rim just a tiny bit, you couldnt really notice. It weights 34 pounds. the frame was strong it didnt bent or break. the forks were good too they didnt bend near the bottom like some do from bunnyhoping. it rode fairly smooth and handly pretty good in the air. the brakes worked alright but you kind of needed alot of pressure to make them stick.

i have the same bike i have had it since july. the reason your back brake isnt working good is because of the detangler or gyro makes your braking feel crappy. this weekend i took my gyro off and just ran straight single cable. it works so much better. i took the front brake off and put it on the back so i could ran the straight cable. so now i have no front brake it doesnt really bother me. i have the same problem with my cranks and i think its because of the crappy stock bottom bracket. i pretty much broke mine in half. if i was you i would get a sealed bottom bracket for sure and just a suggestion-do waht i did with my brakes the back feels so much better. it actually has some release. By the way if you dont know how to do it yourself take it to the shop dont try to do it yourself. well i hope your bike works good for you.
peace

no the reason the brake feels like shit is becuse its not dialed. my gyro is dialed and im confident its more powerful than your straight. its a sst gyro to a tecktro on my ghetto machine and it rocks

my brakes were dialed just the way i liked them...i took off my gyro and adjusted my brakes the same way...they feel so much better without the gyro on...maybe its just stock haro gyros but all i know is that gyros suck

[HarosRGay]

Lmao they have a 20 mm spindal so a 20 mm sprocket right? Funny because that sprocket easily fits on my powerbite spindle..
F2 Sucks a lot, I have had one

i have had this bike not that long...but its really nice..i had to make some adjustments to the brakes, but other than that this bike is realy amazing...i hope to keep it a long time, seems pretty well made.

i got one and i cracked the frame, broke through the cones on the front wheel, bent the shit out of both rims, ripped through both tires, stripped the threads in the fork and replaced the bb twice
pos but i loved it

[Person]

on mine tht i have been riding since july with a 39 sprocket i only have a bunch of case marks on my back and front rims, and it is starting to squeak fron the bb

and my back brakes sucked until i got odyssey cables now it works good
and the front brakes are nice too
