Looks awesome, just get a smaller front chain ring, and it will look awesome. :D

I can't:(
I can't get off one crankarm.
The chainring is attatched to the BB or something, and i don't think i can remove it without taking off both crankarms...
So yeah.

If anyone has any ideas on how to itd be greatly appreciated.

I'm going to invest in a new BMX soon anyway.

[Zyphryss]

I know you can't remove your chainring, but a smaller one would look so much better :cool:

And maybe a bigger seat as well ;)

Have you gone from freeriding to BMX?

Well, I havn't exactly.
It's just kinda hard to use a BMX for freeriding.

Angle grinder, blow torch, hack saw. The list is endless.


Nice job though. That seat looks a little fast for those little wheels. :p

You ride your seat faster then your wheels? Ok, whatever works for you. :o

[JakeGorey]

And I don't know what size sprocket it is.
It is big.

definantly has more teeth than the entire Profile company put together (including workers)

new seat and sprocket/drive set up and she'll be sweet

[flognoffsky]

no its to far gone just get a new one....:rolleyes:

[MATT_82]

you probably can take only one side off because it is more than likely a 1 piece crank.
undo all the bolts and take everything out of the bb area, take pedals off, slide the crank off

EDIT: just looked at the pic, its not 1 piece, my bad

[kjf]

The only reason i can't get one arm off is because the bolt is screwed.
Im thinking about welding a strip to it and then hitting it around with a hammer as to undo it. (This is the bolt im talking about)

This is the left crankarm, would the bolt thread be opposite to that of the right crankarm (Which is regular, lefty loosey righty tighty)?

[FoxRidersCo]

lefty loosey righty tighty ?

Yes this is the same on both sides...
