Re: (igo4bmx)
it pops real loud for me too when I hit the rev limiter in any gear. The poping isn't necessarily bad, it's hitting the rev limiter that is bad. I've read that it's not the best on the rods because of the shock it delivers too them. Don't know if that's true though.
It's not bad to do it once in a while, but hitting it can't be good
