S&M Bicycle Inspection Featuring Charlie Crumlish - A Look at His 2025 Setup
In the world of BMX riding, it's often seen as an athlete's domain to be smaller in stature, but that stereotype doesn't hold true for 6'4'' tall BMX rider Charlie Crumlish. He has been a notable presence in the BMX scene for a considerable time, and his high-flying tricks are a testament to the fact that anyone can excel in this sport, regardless of height.
As a tall rider, Charlie has found a perfect setup that caters to his stature. He rides a signature Tall Boy frame from S&M, available in 21.25'' and 21.5'' top tube lengths. Alongside the Tall Boy frame, he uses a 10'' S&M Fu-Bar, which is also available up to 10.5'' in size.
One distinguishing feature of Charlie's bike setup is the positioning of his handlebar, which is positioned forward, akin to BMX rider Dan Kruk. This arrangement feels more comfortable for Charlie due to his height. It's worth noting that Charlie frequently paints his bike, meaning that he rarely maintains the original paint job for an extended period.
For bike enthusiasts, there's an opportunity to purchase the same components as those that Charlie rides:
- S&M Fu-Bar
- S&M Pitchfork Widemouth Fork
- S&M Credence Turtleneck Stem
