ADD TO BAGLearn the setup, then go ride
BMX is mechanically simple enough that riders can understand most of their own setup. The journal focuses on practical decisions: what a measurement changes, what to inspect, what tools you need and when a component is genuinely worn out.
No magic numbers
Setup advice should give you a starting point, not pretend every rider needs the same answer. Body size, terrain, riding style and preference all interact. Make one change at a time and pay attention to what the bike tells you.
