    Are crank puller tools universal? I know there are some different ones...but are there ones that fit "most"? Good video, answered some questions I had, appreciate it.

    • @MERRITTBMX
      @MERRITTBMX  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      small cranks make spinning a little easier and give you more peg clearance on your feet.

    • @GioBMX
      @GioBMX 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      like they said mostly peg clearance but i like really short cranks because its almost like you use less leg power to push on the cranks.

I wanna get 165 mm cranks and I'm thinking about getting a set of battle cranks in 165 but don't wanna go thru that hassle again but the battle cranks looks easier to put on

      never use metal on metal. hammer on bikes is a no no. rubber mallet or a piece of wood between the bike part and the hammer.
      second the vice grips. completely valid point. buy an adjustable wrench.

      those are channel locks, not vise grips. Sorry to be a dick lol. But yeah everything about this made me cringe. That crank tool looked mangled after installing one set of cranks. You can tell this dude is a rider and not a mechanic. A claw hammer should be nowhere near a bike shop unless you're building ramps

      its 1000% necessary because they are the company that made them and they know whats the best way to make their product last the longest without issues, and they are trying to keep young riders from possibly hurting them selves, their frames, and cranks from being hit with a hammer.
      But go enjoy your 180MM cranks and replace that little 6 piece ring every month.
