Some more info: Sprockets and 1 piece drivers are mainly used in freestyle, but there are some 1 piece drivers and sprockets used in racing (usually they’re profile). Freewheels and cogs are mainly used in racing (you might find them on old freestyle bikes). Cogs are used most, and the hub is called a cassette. Freecosters are only used in freestyle. While not every race hub is an actual cassette, they all function the exact same as a cassette. Chainrings are only used in racing (though I do know there’s an old odyssey sprocket that had a little baby chainring. Also old freestyle bikes had chainrings). A spider is used to make the chainring work like a sprocket, like Phu said, but 90% of race cranks have the spider as part of the crank. Chainrings come with 4 bolt holes and 5 bolt holes, depending on what you need, and you can’t miss match either with the others crank/spider. Hope this helps someone😄
Before we get ahead of ourselves we need a video on the differences between a race bmx and a freestyle bike in todays day and age (not like the early 80s where one bike was for everything).
Really good series! Now taking down a BMX old Mongoose to mod up for some adult riding with new gear rear end. You're the go to shop. Thanks from the "old man".
I have that exact Shadow spline drive sprocket. I never mounted it because I simply can't get it on my spindle. A video covering how to mount a spline drive sprocket would be great as well as one covering the use of a crank puller which can also be a nightmare to use as I recently found out. Love your how-to videos, I never miss one. :)
I use a 28 & 9 on my Specialized fuse one Koi and it works pretty good for me. I can get speed pretty quickly and still climb hills, do catwalks, and spin my rear wheel on gravel. I think I want to go balls out and go 36/9. Am I thinking unrealistically? What's your opinion?
I got scared when he showed the sprocket and said it's always 24 and they give you a little washer to make the hole smaller to fit because I ordered a bigger sprocket and I feel like it wont fit now although it's the same brand as the parts on my bmx so maybe I'll be fine
0:27 "...a cog is usually worked in the rear ...of the bike." (alfredo laughs in a "that's what she said" tone)🤙🏼 😆

Both are self explanatory. No video needed.

As an older guy who grew up with 1 piece cranks this is very helpful for understanding todays tech, thanx man appreciated
Whats to understand? It has been simplified. 😄
@@robertlund5694 yeah pretty much.I just never worked on them myself.
thank you this is what I needed to know. keep killing it my guy.
Im eating alfredo chicken pasta as i watch this
So what your saying is you've got Alfredo's meat in your mouth
@@bmorris5863 get your head out the gutter and smoke a bowl g
@@bmorris5863 lol@username
The earth is a flat plane and the compasses are all pointing at paradise. I like the videos from epic the bmx shop.
Thank you very much. I am going to get a new crank and sprocket set up someday.

Thanks for this video Alfredo sir...
Love being early to your videos Alf!!
I love learning..
But I fuckin live to learn from this man
Im supporting forsure for free knowledge...
Really expected a classic phu bad dirty joke atleast once when discussing all those holes.
I was shocked as well 😂
so interesting!!
Holy shit i leveled up hard with this lol
😂
No one talks about nonagon sprockets!! Odyssey Killington Nonagon Sprocket, Proper microlite nonagon sprocket!
You need to have a video about race bike parts.
That’s a good idea. Thanks Jeremy!
@@AlfredoMancuso please do it soon!
Guess who’s early? Haha me and everyone else that’s early
I get the feeling someone ordered the wrong shit. lol

Alf what is a good ratio for torque and speed for freestyle bmx mainly for park and street mate thanks
28:9 or 25:8
22t??
Oh damn I’m early and psa is better 😤❤️
Anything about cruisers? 24"
Its the same but bigger
Discuss cranks in the next video pleeasss
👍🏿
Where you located
Ok so my bike has a “chain ring” can I swap it out for a shadow sprocket?
Hi, can I use 1/2 x 1/8 chain on a 3/32 sprocket?, there is any risk of damage for both chain and sprocket?
Where were you in 1983?
Why wasn’t u in subrosa battle of the brands ?
i so confuncio
Should I get a new sprocket because where the whole it rip wider for even tho I have the adapter in it to me it doesn't feel right
What are the prices on some of these
From $25-$75
I got scared when he showed the sprocket and said it's always 24 and they give you a little washer to make the hole smaller to fit because I ordered a bigger sprocket and I feel like it wont fit now although it's the same brand as the parts on my bmx so maybe I'll be fine
Sup
Anyone else notice cog is in the title twice?
Second
Ohh im early
Alf I’m first 22 seconds
Idk man I have a screenshot on my phone no views & or comments
It’s the TH-cam you know
My dude!
Fuck I want to join the comp next week! 🏆
It pays to have a great paying job to pay for the proper parts. Knowledge has been dropped.
No one gonna point out it says cogs twice in the tital
1080p my ass
