Description

A Nova is a transient astronomical event that causes the sudden appearance of a bright, apparently "new" star. We are all about that! The Wethepeople Nova 20 Inch BMX Bike is stacked full of epic parts + features that will kick-start your riding career in the best way possible! These new colourways are absolutely divine! Wethepeople put loads of time and effort into making their line-up look the absolute best and we reckon this year they have not disappointed! The 20TT Matt Black Nova comes with Black/white Split Tyre Tread- one side is black, one side is white. This will make your barspins and tailwhips mesmerising to watch. The Nova range features Salt Rookie Tubular Chromoly Three Piece Cranks, Salt Am 20 Forks, Salt Gateway Sprocket, Salt Beam Rims for strength where you need it the most and the Sealed Headset and Sealed Bottom Bracket makes it all run nice and smoothly. The Nova features a super short 12.75” oval chainstay and responsive 26mm offset fork allowing it to not only feel just like the bikes our PRO team ride, but also make it much easier to progress your riding even further.

About the Brand

Wethepeople BMX began making its mark on history almost 15 years ago. Designing the first rough drawings of their frames and forks around the same time as the world started to see BMX in a different light, a time when rails were first grinded and the possibility that riding the streets was in fact the true way forward. To achieve their aims, Wethepeople knows exactly how to deploy their strengths with an efficiency that is unmatched in the BMX industry.

Features

  • Super short 12.75" chainstay. Keeps the back end tight and quick, so the Nova feels much closer to the bikes the Wethepeople pro team ride.
  • Three piece chromoly cranks. Salt Rookie 165mm tubular cranks add strength through the middle of the bike, where a first BMX usually gives up.
  • Sealed headset and bottom bracket. The Salt Pro internal headset and sealed mid BB keep the steering and the cranks running smoothly with less maintenance.
  • Responsive 26mm offset fork. The Salt AM 20 fork sharpens the steering, which makes it easier to progress your riding further.
  • Two sizes and split tread tyres. Choose a 20" or 20.5" top tube, and the 20TT matt black comes with black and white split tread tyres for mesmerising spins.

Assembly information

Your bike ships mostly assembled in the box. Finishing it takes most people 10 to 20 minutes with basic tools, and the video above walks through every step.

  • Fit the handlebars and line them up with the front wheel
  • Fit the front wheel, pedals and seat post
  • Check the brakes and tyre pressure before the first ride

Tools: Allen key set and a 15mm, 17mm or 19mm spanner for the pedals and axle nuts (bikes can vary between these three sizes). A socket is needed if installing pegs.

Rather have it done? Ask us about extra assembly before you order, or any local bike shop can finish the build for a small fee.

20 inch BMX sizing

A 20 inch bike is the standard adult BMX and suits riders from about 147cm up. At this wheel size the top tube is what changes the fit, so pick that by height.

160cm and up24"21.75 to 22"
160cm and up26"22 to 23"

Sizes overlap on purpose, so personal preference comes into it. If you land in two bands, riding style breaks the tie: longer for flow, trails and transitions, shorter for technical street and park.

How to measure

Stand your rider against a wall in the shoes they ride in, heels flat, and mark the top of their head. Measure from the floor to the mark.

Top tube is measured from the centre of the seat tube to the centre of the head tube, so it is not the same as the length of the tube you can see.

  • A 20 inch bike is the standard adult BMX and most riders end up there, so do not size a tall child down to a smaller wheel.
  • 22, 24 and 26 inch bikes are adult bikes with a bigger wheel, not bigger frames for taller riders.
  • Size up for stability through trails and transitions. Size down if you want the bike quick and twitchy for spins and grinds.
  • Top tube is fixed, but stem length, fork offset and bar position all shift how roomy the bike feels once you are on it.
