Hey rob,greet from malaysia. Nice to watch your video,learn alot in transforming my son mtb to bmx.. Keep it up

[@bigcatz74]

Thank you for your video first time I attempted a crank and was straight forward thanks to your teaching

[@thebasementbikeshop2336]

Thanks for watching. Glad i could help.

Are the cups always identical? They seem to be slightly differently shaped, the left less contoured. My crank makes noise, but only in 3rd and 4th gear on a 5 speed hub.

[@crown6468]

My cranks get loose on a certain angle how do i fix this

[@mexman000]

do you need to press the bearings into the hub? i was watching videos on how to do it, but i think they were installing a 3 piece crank.

[@2DEEPpowersports]

Do you know what size bearing a mongoose hood d uses?

[@Nektopoulo]

Thanks, going to change out the 3pc crank on my Redline 600a to a 1pc, hopefully I can keep the existing cups, bearings and racers and only need the 1pc crank arm.

I just replaced the whole bottom bracket and it wasn’t hard at all. The new BB assembly for my haro bmx was $11 besides. How did it go for you?

[@dulls5678]

@@TheDoozie43 hey my bmx has a mid bb and where i live no bike shop has 3 piece cranksets, will a 1 piece crankset be able to work with the bb?

[@TheDOOKIEonYOU]

Is it possible to swap out a aftermarket sprocket on a kids bmx bike with the same style 1 piece crankset. Keep everything original except new colored sprocket

[@thebasementbikeshop2336]

Yes!

[@TheDOOKIEonYOU]

Ok thanks for the reply. Will any aftermarket sprocket work with a pinch bolt

[@TheDoozie43]

How do you know when the slotted bearing cup is tight enough? No slop, but not crazy tight either I assume?

[@jeroenvandaele1349]

hi man a question do you have the size of the bearing mine is missing one and i was wondering if you could buy the whole bearing as a package

[@enriquealvarado8894]

What size are you using 24t or 28t BB?

[@TiggaUK]

Is it possible to get a list/links to all the tools used in the video, I need to buy and just want to get the correct sizes

[@maryjoysabella4924]

adjustable 14mm-15mm flat screw

[@bmxbyblackdeath....3603]

very nice i like the bike..

[@gregnixon1296]

Thanks for the tips on how to do this with everyday tools.

[@marscookingshow2352]

Hi sir is it possible to replace it to sealed bearing?

[@enricourbanozo2322]

Yes it is possible. I just recently bought a sealed bearing one. And i think its better.

[@dmask544]

But what grease do you use? Does it matter?

[@declancollier5514]

Hi can you maybe give me a link to the tool you were using to tighten the thing on the sprocket

[@thebasementbikeshop2336]

this is the best one. you could use a cheaper adjustable spanner wrench but it doesn't work as well. amzn.to/3dz3qVE

[@lemuelosorio7976]

link where to buy cups and bearing?

[@thebasementbikeshop2336]

amzn.to/3mYBVhk although most American BBs will work. hope this helps

[@carreviews842]

[@russel4090]

[@PetrusBester-b6g]

Ha

[@CaptainHowdy-c3y]

My question is...why would anyone want to install a one piece crank on their bike? That's like the opposite of progress and bringing down your bike's worth.

[@ChuckNorris-yo3hu]

Not if it came like that…the bikes worth would be more if kept original

[@joehensley4310]

Not necessarily. If you’re rebuilding an early 80’s to original I’d want the original equipment on it.
