Those bigger wheels can be intimidating, but they aren’t completely uncontrollable. The Big Ripper is an icon from SE, lending a stable ride for those who want to pop big wheelies and cruise down the block. The Mongoose Legion 16 is a solid BMX bike for kids 3-feet-6-inches and under who need a 16-incher that can take a beating. The Legion 16 is simple to assemble and features gyro brakes for easy handlebar spins, loose-ball bottom brackets, and comfy grips.
Also, all Mongoose Legion BMXs will have the wheel size (20-inch diameter) unless it’s the Legion L16 or Legion L18 (which have 16-inch and 18-inch diameter wheels, respectively). Make it a trip to remember with camping and mountain biking combined! The kids will sleep great in their tents after all that riding.
The exact model that I use is unknown, but all the problems and solutions apply to all models of Mongoose bikes as long as they are BMX style rather than mountain bikes. Also, the one I work on is more than five years old, but again it should not matter whether your bike is a newer model or not. After a profoundly successful, yet abrupt time at Mongoose, it was Magoo’s sense of humour which spelled his demise. Funnily enough, after making the decision to use a black transvestite on the cover of the 1990 mongoose excursion catalogue, the executive took a different view and forced Magoo out of the company. From CW racing, the excessively talkative Magoo made the move to GT, starting off in administration and ending up in advertising and team management capabilities. Eventually managing to muscle his way into the product development realm of the business, Magoo had found his calling and wanted to refine and progress these skills.
Our culture is as fun and lively as the lifestyle brands we represent where innovative ideas are welcomed and customer satisfaction is top priority. Strongly consider getting a 24-inch wheel or larger. Most 20-inch BMX frames have the bottom bracket higher than the axles, for purposes of ground clearance.
