Should I get a complete bmx or build one myself?

My Bmx has a US bottom bracket and i need to get a new one, will i have to get one the same?

  • My bolt holding my crank arm has sheared off inside the axle making it useless and i cant drill it out. ive looked around and an 8-splined US axle is hard to get hold of, so can i fit a different type of bottom bracket to my Bmx? Or is there another type of axle that will fit in my US bottom bracket? cheers

  • Answer:

    If you can't drill it out, try turning what's left of the bolt with a pair of needle nose pliers. You want to turn it anti-clockwise, whereas a drill will turn clockwise. The bolt shouldn't be under any tension with the head sheared off, so it might be easier to turn than you think.
