After buying all stock bike, this vid would be a great to watch.
you got THAT bike for $200? dude nice find.
I could buy one for 300 but i said nah and bought a full suspension for 500 ghost amr 2995
1/2 of the value of new that's about right for the use market.

Should note, you don’t have replace the front crank set if you are short on funds. You can just remove all the chain rings and attach 1x narrow wide. It’s how I’ve done a 1-by conversion when I couldn’t afford it. You can save a lot of money this way since you don’t need new cranks set and tools for the crank set.
Hey there! So can I just put a New chainring (38T) with the stock crank, and the stock 8speed(?
@@juanpinate7319 long as you can find the chainring with correct bolt pattern, no problem.
That was fast haha, thanks a lot bro❤️
hollow crank looks way more cooler than a 3x stock crank with fd hehe
@@GXManiahollow cranks will need replacing more than square bottom brackets . Typical squares can last 5-10yrs or more who knows. Google hollowtech vs square and youll see
I didn't know 1x conversion would be so easy
Tip: Attach the chainring to the inside of the crankset, making it central to the cassette and a perfect chain alignment. Use the washers on the bottom bracket to guide you, if the alignment is too near the inside of cassette, towards the frame, if needed. Very important.
Came down here looking to confirm this too 😂 was thinking "wait a minute, aren't you only supposed to put a bash gaurd on the outside".
i fitted my new chainring same way,i thought i am only one what doing it that?now i found this video....look better in this way then to put the chairing on left side...are any factors or bad things if i keep it like that?
@@TheRazvancristianyeah your chainline will prolly be off which can cause wear and tear on the chain and loss of efficiency to name a few.
Some one mentioned you put the narrow wide chain ring on the outside position on the crank. You really want to see whats really going on with alignment. Take a look from the back of the bike. looking across the chain, to see the offset alignment between the front and rear. Now you can see, on the 1x conversion putting the 1x ring on the center position is the correct way.
@Ai He is referring to mounting the chain ring on the inside of the spider. In most cases that will give you a better chain line. It can really go either way but as stated usually best inside or where the middle ring was on a 3x
Also there was no mention of using any spacers with the bottom bracket. On my 3x7 to 1x10 conversion, I learned that I had to use 1 spacer on the drivetrain side. Spacers usually come with the bottom bracket.
I was thinking the same thing as I watched this. Also, there are quite a few 1x conversion chainrings that have a offset flange or built-in spacer to move the chainring a little bit more toward the middle.
"Downgrading" my hardtail to a singlespeed chainring was the best move I ever made
lool yeah heheh
Considering every top hardtail manufacturer uses a 1X system I’d say you’re bang wrong. Nice try though.
😂 the 2010s are finished
I had 3x on my road and MTB. I never had to leave the middle ring. Bay Area...
Thanks man for this. I am thinking the same for my bike. Currenlty I'm on a 3x8 set up and I'm planning to change it into 2x8. Keep it up Sir 💪
2x8 is excellent setup👍
Hello straight from Poland, from Warsaw, nice movie, although I never recommend Chinese parts, but I am full of admiration for you that you do everything yourself and only with the tools you have in your garage, which is just like me, I have already subscribed to your channel, there is not much now people who make videos about older bike models, go on, some of your videos help me with my own repairs and rework. Thanks, take care and stay well

Erp can you link the descripsion about the crank set and the chain ring thank you. Nice upgrade👍
I've just ordered on ebay. I searched ixf crankset and it came up
Ali Express, hundreds of them, just browse the best pricing sellers offering. Some can go up to exorbitant pricing if you're not careful.
remove that plastic cassette protector for +10 astig look
I'll do that when I get my SLX 1x11 :)
Upgraded with IXF Cranks 2 months ago. Just about to do the same but Upgrading from 1x8 to 1 x11XT M8000, had to buy a 11 speed rear mtb wheel 27.5 with a shimano Compatible freehub 11 speed on Amazon, bought an XT sgs 11speed rear derailleur , a XT REAR 11 speed shifter, A Sun Race 11-46T cassette, Clark’s M2 brake set,& a KMC X11 chain .$300ish all included in my opinion well worth the upgrade. Either it’s that or save up for a year & a half to get the money for a half decent new mountain bike, go figure.😁🏴 To Combat the Corona Virus induced Cabin Fever🦠.
Aliexpress you can buy bike parts way cheaper, I ordered my slx 11 speed gear set for $100, derailleur, chain, shifter and the cassette
@@MCMTB Are you going to use that SLX 11 speed with this IXF chainring? Link to the SLX on Ali? Which seller did you use for this IXF set?
calle a dork disc
If you do this 1X conversion and convert to a more modern cassette and derailleur, I have found it is best to put the chainring on the inside of the cranks and remove any bottom bracket spacers from the drive side. Otherwise, your chain is too far out of line with the largest gears and causes issues (noisy pedaling, chain drops down gears if pedal backwards, etc.)
Do you have a link to the parts you bought. If like to do the same. Also watched your 1x11 upgrade video!!!
I think the cranks are on amazon right now for $50

What is better 1x11 or 1x8
@@armandotafoya9210 of course a 1x11, but a 3x7 is always better and cheaper
@@armandotafoya9210 1x11 is much better than a1x8 because you get more range like and 11 to 50 tooth cassette, a 1x8 will only get 11 to 37 tooth. A 1x 8 is always better though then a 3x drivetrain
can you provide a link to the parts you purchased?
Bought the same crankset. Now with 1100 km. No issues.
This crank is gold
Love the Zelda music!!! And I can recomend to use a chain guide, that rear derailleur doesn't have block to make the chain more stable and avoid the chain to out from the crankset, but with a chain guide you can solve the problem of chain. :D
If you have a balcony (condo/apartment people), just stick a 2x4 on top of the railing and on top of a chair (anything solid), and bam, a repair stand.
Three points: Normally with this kind of crank you would install a single chainring on the INSIDE (toward bottom bracket) so that you have the proper chainline. This will be especially important if you put on wide range cassette. Second, no need for that much grease when installing the BB, it just attracts dirt. The spinning of the crank takes place due to the sealed bearings. Third, a two piece bottom bracket usually comes with a plastic inner sleeve that runs between the two halves and serves to minimize contamination.
What the heck? You mean inside the crank arm or inside of the crank spindle? Because notice at 5:11 it only has a groove outside of the crank which i'm referring to inside the crank arm.
Depends. If you are running A litepro chainring with a chaingaurd. The teeth are automatically more centered. Than a typical ring without a chaingaurd. And in my experience have superior performance and more efficiency. Than chainrings without a gaurd placed either side of the crank bolt brackets
Agreed - too much grease in areas that do not need to spin
Dropping that zelda fairy music kept me around!
I've got one of them ISF cranks on my main ride. The bottom bracket was crap so you best swap that out for a nice Shimano one (cost me £12 in UK). Other than that you are good to go. Totally agree with you on front derailleurs. They just mess-up the asthetic of the bike in the crank zone. I've just done a 1x10 hardtail that was a 3x9 originally(bought a 10 speed freewheel, obviously). I can't wait to session it after this strange period of viral lockdown ends. Yeah man. That bike looks 100x more dope with the new gearing. Sweet.
Thanks man, it'll be 1x11 soon
@@MCMTB Doesn't that involve a whole lot of extra cost and hassle(?):- getting a differant rear hub (that can accommodate 11x size cassette) and spending out big bucks on a geared rear derailleur(to help with chain slackness). Not to mention a new 11x shifter. That was why I went from my original 9x to a 10x cassette. Also, I found out I can get 10 settings off of a 9x Shimano Alivio shifter (a -1 gear that involves clever use of the thumb to get 2 gear sprockets out of one shifter setting. It works surprisingly well as if it was a 10x shifter) if you have the dexterity. Anyway man. Good vid. New sub. Jobs a gud'n.
I will make sure that 11 speed will fit in my hub
@@MCMTB if you're bike is an 8 speed or more then it should come standard with the shimano free hub. It can accommodate even some 12 speeds. The sram sx and nx are designed to fit on a shimano freehub body so you dont need there xd freehub body unless you want to go with there premium more expensive 12 speed drivetrains
those bbs are not crap they just dont have lube inside of bearings. just lube them and they will serve better than shimano.
You kids are crazy saying the front derailer looks off. I thought XTR or your choice of premium components were great in the early 2000-2010 but now the single chainring up front is everywhere but I kept my hard tail setup I’ve had for 20 years with some upgrades and I still prefer it to the new hardtails that aren’t as light and made much for downhill racing/enduro compared to the way xc races used to be
after watching this.. now I'm ready to change my crank set like yours
This is EXACTLY the video I needed! I am planning on doing this to my Scott Aspect. Although how did you "tune" your derailleur to fit the crankset?
Hi Isaac! Did it work with the Aspect? I am probobly going to try it on my aspect 750.

Having less range is an upgrade nowadays! Interesting times 🤔.
I thought I was the only one wondering this
Yes because it helps with weight reduction and with the chain staying on the sprocket
you dont really need range on mtb since you dont cadence it, so it's just redundand, for most applications. at road bike range and switch step is crucial for riding in groups.
For a road or gravel bike, yes I can understand where you're coming from. But with mtb, a front derailleur is just another heavy part to break on jumps and rocky descents. And also it's alot heavier with all those chainrings. Having more range in the back like a 9-12 speed 11-48t cassette is a better option as it allows for some good range aswell as weight reduction and less complexity on the bike.
@@user-zx2mc6pp8o mtbs need gears lol
I got a marlin 5 and what annoys me soo much about it and it’s a really good bike except for the shock and wheels but anyways the chain is way too long and I had to get rid of the front derailleur because 1.the shifting is broken 2.it’s not meant for mountain bikes
Really enjoyed your to the point illustrative clip. Its great.
I just got this exact bike the other day & hoping to upgrade it also like you are.
Hey Dude.. you mounted the crown in the wrong spot.. it is not supposed to be on the back part of the crank?
Right???!
What do you mean?
@@TokinWhiteKid the front gear it's not mounted in the wrong side?
Oh you mean the chainring. I'm not sure if it has to go on either side in particular but on the backside of it would seem to put the chain more in line with the center of your cassette.
@@TokinWhiteKid yes.. that's my point.n the chain line it would be more centered between cassette and crank gear.. :-)
Hey Pare! Using heat shrink on cable ends is a killer hack! I’m using that sh!t on everything 😂
Hell yeah
What tooth chainring upfront?
I was thinking of doing the same thing to my 8 spd Scott aspect
looks like a 30t but maybe he should answer you!
Why?
Why u shitting bike cuz of one cable...
Awesome! For me, 3ple chainring and front shifter is perfect for bike commuting and long distance riding. 1by is perfect for trails.
damn u save me some money but mine big chain ring one or tooth seem to be premature wear
Upgrade to Hydraulic brakes
One of the first things I did with my new bike was remove the front derailleur and replaced the chain-rings with a single narrow-wide.
GOD I was actually thinking of doing the same to my gravel bike. You think it’ll shift just fine if I do it?
And how many teeth chain Ring did you go with?
Mine shifts awesome just make sure to remove maybe 3 chain links
@@cdesrae1212 It shifts perfectly. You might need a spacer for the chainring to keep your chainline aligned but that's about it. The number of teeth depends on what kind of riding you're doing and what cassette you have. More teeth will give you more top end for speed and less teeth will give you more bottom end for climbing so compare it to your current chainring and see if you need more or less or the same.
Did you have to use a chin guide?
Specializer for overprice with combo triggers brake? really man?DDD
u was scammed
now time to change breaks, fork and rear changer =))
mb better sell this bike and buy new one with good stuff?
zelda music! nice touch to your vid. reminds me of zelda a link to the past. fairy scene.
Keep this series up because my bike is like this and I've wanted a single speed for ages
I like that you went from a budget mountain bike. an started upgradeing it little by little. I did that same thing.then it got out of control lol. Now I'm running 11 speed xtr and xtr brakes lol.
Heck yeah
need a 9 speed 11-42 cassette with that 32 chain ring. looks like a 11-34 you have now.
I did the same thing to a Trek Marlin 5 and the weight savings alone makes it worth it.
You should weigh that stuff in the bin and just see how much that stuff alone weighs.
I now have a 1X, tubeless and an air fork and now my bike feels lighter than my road bike lol...
Jay Ay I did change the wheelset, I wanted a wider rim. And I bought a whole new drivetrain, it came as a pull from someone else’s upgrade.
You had better check your info... the 2020 Marlin 5 comes with a cassette, I think, but haven’t checked all bikes, that Trek has pretty much dropped the freewheel setup all together. I really don’t care about what you think “I wasted” MY money on, at the time I couldn’t afford “more” bike, so I upgraded this one and now have what “I” want. Spend YOUR money the way YOU want, and don’t try to tell others how to spend THEIR money.
Jay Ay
So I have old Diamondback Sorrento that came with a 3x7 like your Marlin 5 and I replaced the stock Shimano 14-28 freewheel with the $34 Shimano 14-34, then replaced the heavy triple crank with a cheap CDH 32t single crank from Amazon. The chain line is spot in line with the middle of the freewheel and now the bike is nearly 2 pounds lighter and shifts perfectly. It may not be for everyone but it will handle any blue trail in my area.
@thespiritbomb I blocked his comments, I don't have the time or the desire to listen to crap from people that think there way is the way something should have been done and there is no other way to do it.
Thank You for seeing right through the his BS.
LoL why is this dude so mad 😁, Upgrade your bike if you want too , I dont know why people are always complaining about us spending our money on things that we love, yolo
MCMTB because I was able to upgrade it incrementally over a year, if I would have waited for more money, it would have been close to that time until I could have bought a bike.
What I object to the most is you trying to tell somebody how and on what they should spend their money on. You may have a budget that allows you to buy any bike you want, but I’m on an extremely limited budget right now and I’ll not explain my choice to you. I got most of the parts as pulls from others people upgrades, so they didn’t cost me retail. If you were to buy the bike and immediately start dumping money on a bunch of upgrades, then yeah, you should have just bought a better bike. If you do it over time and with a limited budget and are willing to buy lightly used parts, it might be an option to look at.
You are in no position to dictate to anyone what they buy or what they spend their money on. If you want to pay my bills and buy the stuff I use, dictate away. Otherwise shut up.
I would have put a bash guard on the outside of the spider and chainring inside. I always ride down a set of stairs to test whether chain stays on incase you have to remove any more links from chain...
love this vids as have exactly the same bike
Good! It's like great idea! I m tryng to change 3x7 to 1x9. $$$$ is the problem...
It should be cheap, you can get a 1x10 on AliExpress for under $100
@@MCMTB Great! My problem is my bike is old to change it. I'll search about it! Thanks a lot!
The first time I saw a 1x and the I look at my 3x I was like ewwwwww that front derailleur look tacky

lf you can remove chainrings from cranks than you can do a singlespeed on your existing cranks. Just get narrow wide chainring!!!
He went from garbage to integrated. Why not?
Usually on those 3 gear cranks the size of the chain ring is different, wont fit a narrow wide chain ring or any aftermarket chainring
There was a point in time when all mountain bikes were 3×'s.
Sir Mark you have a nice ads Spank hex. Ang ganda talaga ng 1x setup.
Same , hate it too many wires and most shifting problems comes from the front deraileurs.By the way, how much u charge if i send one to be upgraded.
I was just thinking of converting from 1/8 to a 3/8 lol
On 1x setup, you can average 20-23km/h. but on a 3x setup, you can average more than 30 depending on your pacing. But if you're more on mountain rides, 1x is more than enough. 🤗
I want to do the opposite, what to swap some parts?
So much of what you buy is about name brands. That crank looks awesome for 50 bucks! Why pay more?
I agree with you 100%, I absolutely hate a front derailleur on a mountain bike, period. Whoever invented the narrow wide chain ring set up I commend to no end, what a fantastic idea that has worked out so well for me. I believe the fewer parts on a mountain bike the better as long as all your bike parts work well for their intended function. Keep up making good instructional videos😎😎😎
Narrow wide is a must!
hi sir: grate job! i wana upgrade my old bc. can i do this at 3X7 to 1X7 crankset ? thanks.
That’s exactly what I did with my old Rocky Mountain hard tail. I mean EXACTLY.... but one thing I. Did different is I left the front derailleur on and it’s now a “CHAIN-GUIDE” 🤣🤣🤣 I’ll probably take it off soon
Chris Willis i would take it off front derailleurs look ugly
Victoria the green cheek conure your 💯 % correct...l it isn’t doing anything for me besides looking like clutter
Can you provide links to the parts you purchase please, doing the same thing brought second hand bike and want to do it up.
Have you thought about going to a single speed set up or you cool with 1 X 8? I took off my front derailer too and I'm weighing the pros and cons of simplifying the drive train and go for a cleaner look by taking off the rear derailer. My knees already voted for leaving it as is but the bmx kid in me is saying go for the single speed! lol
Maybe try oval, I am thinking about it for converting my 3X8 to a 1X12
Already set to remove things, also remove the front brake if the terrain you are riding on is suitable, with the rear it is enough and the appearance of the bicycle is even cleaner and lighter
@@rafleg4630 Yeah, I made my decision 3 years ago! lol I am going 1x8 and it is a much cleaner look. I generally only ride around the neighborhood anymore and it's relatively flat.
Mark. Thanks for the video. I just got back into riding off-road, only to discover that my once state-of-the-art Yeti 575 is now obsolete!
Everyone seems to be riding 29er or 27.5ers with 1x12 drive trains. I'm on 26s and a 3x8 crank.
I can't do much about wheelsize - is there really that much difference between 26s and 27.5s? But I'm definitely going to switch to a single chain ring and maybe get a 9 or 10 speed cassette.
On Hong Kong's trails I'm usually in the small ring anyway, so losing the other two won't matter much.
Plus, with the better chain angle, I'll be able to use the small cogs on the rear cassette when the trail flattens out or on descents.
Anyway, thanks for the inspiration.
Much appreciated.
Live long and keep riding
Could I just take of the extra 2 cassettes in the front leaving me with a 1x9? But I’m not sure if I should do it, it’s basically just the same as leaving it on 1 front gear and only shifting the rear gears
the gear ratio corresponds to chain length, you will experience chain slack very often by doing that
one1 so I would just have to put a smaller chain?
@@vallejodroning9578 yeah it will work. But there are various reasons to change to single chainring, like to save some weight, simpler look, or stiffer pedaling by changing to two pieces crankset from square tapered one
one1 I’ll probably convert once I get the leg power, Is 1x9 enough?
@@vallejodroning9578 it depends on how you will ride and if your place mostly climbing tracks/incline road, I think it would be enough

Great video. I’m normally all about shopping local, but bike parts are crazy expensive right now.

Wow erp $200 for the bike? That’s a heck of a deal 😳 nice upgrade👍🏼 you forgot to remove the dork disc though 😬
One tip. I usually recommend people buy the smallest tooth count front chainring they can find if they are not upgrading the rear cassette at the same time (usually 30t is the smallest). Most 3x rear cassettes are not geared very low. A small front chainring provides a little more lower range.
That's true, I'm using a 32t on my Jamis and I feel like I'm being left behind when I'm riding with former pros,
Thanks for the tip. Planning on going 1x8 w 32/11t Mongoose Vinson fatbike. Bought a Snail 30t, hope it turns out okay.
ya, but now you loose top end
do you have to replace the bottom bracket and cranks to do a 1x
Love the Zelda music
That's mtb I really love it! Hoping that I have that.
Nice video. But I was wondering (as my middle chain ring has 32 teeth), could I just not take out the inner and outer rings and use the existing cranks, bottom bracket etc instead?
it’ll be the same. even better if u added a bash guard to replace the largest chainring.
Isn’t the chainring on the front crank suppose to be behind the crank arm and not in front...?
You can either go front or back, on my db atroz I put it at the back and it works just fine
Honestly, I can't ditch 3x on my bike, the lowest ratio is too high at that point, great job though, wish i had seen this before paying to have a new bottom bracket put on.
Hey awesome video man, was just curious. I went from a 3x to 1x on a 2019 Norco storm 7.3 using the same ixf crankset and was wondering what was the acceptable amount of links you removed for slack in the chain? Thanks in advance.
