I am a lifetime BMX rider and was looking for bigger bikes so that we can continue riding together. I wanted to buy two higher end 18" BMX bikes but could not justify the cost. Global manufacturing of kids' bikes is at a low point, so the option seemed to be poorly designed department store bikes. Fortunately, I stumbled across the Cubsala 18" BMX bike here on desertcart. The Cubsala 18" BMX bike is a low-end product inspired by higher end design. Essentially, it is what I want for my kids' bikes and sacrifices only what I do not consider to be necessities for them. For instance, it features modern freestyle BMX geometry which made it easy to set up for them. It uses freestyle BMX U-brakes and does not have a coaster (foot) brake. It also has a clamp style stem instead of the antiquated wedge style stem. In order to decrease the overall cost, these 18" Cubsalas use one piece cranks, unsealed bearings, hi-tensile steel frame, hi-tensile steel forks and off-brand parts. The 18" Cubsala BMX bike is ideal for a kid who physically can fit the 18" BMX size and will be mostly pedaling. It can also be an introduction to freestyle BMX bike. I believe that a kid can learn the basics such as bunny hops, fly outs, and pumping ramps on it. However, 180 and 360 type spin tricks will destroy the wheels. Grinding with pegs will bend axles and dropouts. The frame does not look to be reinforced and overall, the parts are not built to withstand the stresses of freestyle BMX. Therefore, any kid who advanced beyond the beginner stage of freestyle BMX should not be riding this bike. Given the target rider, there are two minor issues I found with the bike. First, the brake pads are terrible. From the factory, stopping power on the Cubsala is poor largely due to the brake pads and painted rims, even after the brakes are dialed. Depending on how the bike is being used, the brakes may or may not be an issue. In fact, most BMX riders do not use brakes. Regardless, the Cubsalas are for my kids and I am a BMX brake user, so I changed the pads on the Cubsalas to Kool Stops and this improved braking considerably. Secondly, the forks are welded in a way which leaves the front wheel offset to the right. Both of our bikes have this exact same problem, which leads me to believe the jig they use to hold the forks together for welding have an inherent offset problem. The offset is not really a problem unless you run front brakes and this bike does not come with any. And in reality, most people would not notice this. To fix the offset, I simply placed a washer on the right front axle inside of the dropout to push the wheel in the opposite direction. Assembly was easy since the bike is shipped mostly assembled. First, I checked all of the bolts, nuts and screws. These were all torqued adequately and the threads were lightly greased. Then I installed the bars, wheels and pedals. I went on to make adjustments such as bar angle and seat height to suit my kids. Finally, I disassembled the braking system and tuned it by greasing the brake mounts, cutting/adjusting the cables, changing/adjusting the brake pads and adjusting the spring tension. U-brakes are a little difficult to tune so I recommend checking an online tutorial for dialing u-brakes if you are interested in improving braking. The Cubsalas come with tools to assemble the bike if you do not have any. Each bike came with some extras which I did not opt to use such as a kick stand and chain guard.
