  • i have a diamondback bmx bike that has one piece cranks and i would like to change them out to get 3 piece cranks. i know i have to get new bottom brackets but what exactly would i need to do this. thsi is my bike http://www.amazon.com/Diamondback-Session-Bike-20-Inch-Wheels/dp/B0041VH2OQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=sporting-goods&qid=1290910146&sr=8-1

  • Answer:

    you will need a converter kit but it will still never be as strong as a frame made for a 3 piece crank http://www.bicycle-engines.com/wide-crank-conversion-p-295.html after that you will need a bottom bracket like a U-54 by shimano will do and is cheaper you will also need a new crank set, and a bottom bracket tool for the new cartage(yes this tool is needed)
