EOC: WEEK4 There's an app for that.




The Bmx bike builder app allows you to build a bmx bike from all the top brands such as S&M, Fit, Haro, Mirra co. etc. You can pick bars, rims, spokes, nipples (the ones that tighten up the spokes to the rim), grips, chains, sprockets etc. It tells you the cost of all items and shows you the colors and way you designed the bike. After the build is complete it will show you the cost for your ‘dream bike’ and you will be able to pick if you want a life time warranty or a 6 month warranty as well as where you would like the parts shipped and or have the bike together and if you want the parts from American made or shipped over seas. It also can help tell you how much your bike would be worth if you decide to sell it and if you decide to change the parts out on it how much the bike would be worth and it can check how many times you have snapped a chain or something on the bike and if it has decreased the value of the bike.  ( Note this app is recommended for bmx riders that live to ride their bikes and have a passion for it and not just let the bike sit in the garage or storage.)
I did not find an app that is created for this all I found was a ripxxx app which is a bmx trainer that helps you figure out your track times, does more speed help in turns, does more air make you faster or slower. I may be on to something here, but I will have to ask around with some of the people I ride with to see if this app would be useful or if it would be a bust.
