Fixing up my sister in law's cruiser bike, 9 years later, this video is still gold. Thanks Bikeman🤙🏼

Bikeman is timeless! ...mic drop.

[@BikemanforU]

A blast from the past...We have come along WAY. Nice to hear from Mr. Pump today. My father will live forever

[@LAactor]

Sorry about your dad. I was just thinking the other day the changes in the video and stuff around there. You losing weight too. Hope all is well non bike related wise. I thought it was dumb some people didn't like his camera work. But he was family. And blood is thicker than lube.

[@LAactor]

This came up in the suggested videos list so I just clicked it. Didn't mean to go so far back in the BM world.

[@zenworthdaly9629]

BikemanforU how can I installe a fork and a handle

[@claudialapiedad6764]

Podra conseguir accesorios para una huffy de mujer thank.s

[@mickyashey9818]

HUGE HELP!!! I NEVER KNEW THOSE CUPS IN FRAME COULD BE REMOVED!! All my friends and I were taught to work on our own bikes and keep them in good shape so I don't think I've ever had to replace any, but I'd love to throw new style 3-piece crank on my old GT speed series frame and NOW I CAN YAY!!!

[@KAINEIZRUDE]

your technique for taking pedals off is rad bikeman! never seen it done that way before. NEVER FEAR

[@MariotheCRackA]

i like how he is so positive all the time :D

[@ujhomeimprovements]

Appreciate this video . I'm fixing my deceist brothers low rider project bike . Just got repainted today , building back up tomorrow to give to his son for his birthday. I had no idea how to do this.

[@jhaykus]

Hey BikeMan, You are awsome. I've been trying to fix my 8yr olds bike for thelongest time and cause of your videos, I got my kid back on the street. Thnx BikeMan. :)

[@ryanbriggs9529]

your video is the only one that shows the removal of the bearing cups, i was wondering about that. thank you bike man

[@custardtruck2499]

I learned more about what I wanted to know from your 12 min video than the 30 min I wasted before that.

[@izzyjaecks827]

I'm just swapping out a sprocket (a 44T for a 36T) but this is the basic information that I need, and this video made it all make sense. Not sure I have a wrench big enough, though. Also, I think I bought a basket rack from you guys about three years ago off eBay!

[@not2fast4u2c]

I had to watch this again to see the quality Wald ? bearings you use and that fancy new tool good job !! Bikeman Rules !!

[@ThePhx1911]

Love the video but from all the rust I see on the bikes I see you working on I might suggest using green marine Grease to pack your bearings . I use it on all my builds .Thanks for the fun & informative video's !!!

[@cattmann1405]

Just did the coaster brake on my Firestone Warrior...next up is the crank. This will help...thank you, Sir!!!

[@tinycmo]

you ate an amazing encyclopedia of bike repair.

[@KAINEIZRUDE]

@BikemanforU weather is hot hot hot bikeman! did a nice 16 mile ride today in the sun! doing a 50 mile ride in a couple of weeks with some friends and filming it, i shall be wearing my bikemanforu t shirt for sure! hope all is good!

[@amartinjoe]

thanks for the video! I ordered a one piece crank off ebay...I didn't know it was you guys....excellent! it arrived quickly and it fits the bike...thanks!!!

[@larryj.1991]

Perfect! Just what I needed to fix our Schwinn excercise bike!

[@richardhill2540]

Much love Bike Man! Couldn't find a vid on this old style of BB till now. Rock On!

[@BikemanforU]

We got vids on how to convert it too

[@richardhill2540]

dope! I just found out how cheap cartridge bottom brackets are. Probably gonna do the upgrade.

[@toscodav]

you've got the tools, you've got the talent. Nice

[@victorvillarongoarce674]

You ten Best Bike man! I like your vedeo on the assembly of an old fashion crank...thanks on your expertise..I now can change my son's bike!!!

[@A-Zee-Zee_]

My one piece crank on an old school bmx will not pull through without removing the right side bearing cup. I'm here to make sure that just knocking it out is the right think to do. I think it might be more difficult to put back on though. Great video. Subscribed.

[@JCG0001]

another fine episode of this old gahbidge bike

[@Patrick94GSR]

He stuck it in there right as camera guy was going around to the other side of the bike at 9:21, then it showed BikemanforU putting more grease in behind the left side bearing when he said "don't be cheap with the grease".

[@ExploringWithJared]

Well I gotta replace my pedal sprocket I bent it yesterday tried to straighten but chain keeps coming off where it was bent this video definitely helped

[@ananowell985]

Thank you BikeMan. I may see if I can find a bike shop to put a new set of bearings on both of my bikes. I have not been riding my bikes because of the of the "knocking inside the bike pedals".

[@hullcanada]

THANK YOU ,,, YOU HELPED ME A LOT,,,SHOWING MY 10 YR OLD WHAT TO DO.. THANKS...

[@1949LA-ARCH]

Fantastic video...... I enjoy your upbeat attitude, plus all your instructional videos. Thanks for taking the time in showing this 66 year old bike rookie how the procedure is done correctly !!

[@braschultz]

is this the same kind of bottom bracket on Walmart bikes? I want to help fix my friends bike and it's a Genesis from walmart

[@ruipires7954]

You my friend are AMERICA!GOD BLESS YOU YOUR CREW & MOST OF ALL, AMERICA!!! Stay safe fellas!!

[@brianwright3014]

What happened to the bearings on the left hand side?

[@chadhaynes3171]

Do what he said and put both bearings on both sides with the ball thing he's facing inward and make sure you add the grease cuz I know from experience you're wearing down quicker without Grease I learned that the hard way

[@chief1223]

He must have put it in there, it is hiding in the grease, pops out for a second while he is tightening the bearing cap (?)

[@harris8390]

I sure as hell didn’t see it. lol.

[@НикитаНовохатний-ф2й]

[@joshmills780]

Hi there! Your video was helpful for my wife and I. Thank you!

[@The88Nomad]

The camera man is AWESOME! Shout out to the camera man! (Like if you agree)

[@jeffriggs5174]

Fantastic video,very helpful,can I ask what grease was used,name brand,and type perhaps,great video.

[@reidairsofter]

can u make a vid of how to take the sproket off the 1 piece crank?

[@denniswilson1290]

very easy instructions

[@MaceGarvin]

@6:45. Some sort of multi-size wrench; just curious. Think I used something similar, but it's actually a plumbing tool. Anyhow, great info, saved me a trip to the repair shop.

[@riggermortisfpv526]

Wow, how did I miss this video.....

[@mary8273]

Do one on replacement of wheels bearings. Great job

[@APA770]

Excellent. Perfect description. Muchas gracias.

[@BikemanforU]

Yes. You will need a converter we just shot the video so stay tuned

[@chadhaynes3171]

Really helped me out i use my bike alot

[@sgt.dieselellinger6461]

Hey any ideas of how to replace the one piece crankset on a schwinn delmar beach cruiser bike? I called my bike sarge and sarge is my daily rider. Put alot of low miles on her till the cranks we're shot and it's making a creaking noise. This video helps me alot i love the video good job on the video bikeman

[@jjmontague1]

Can you us a Modern bottom bracket in place of a a single piece bottom bracket

[@SamuraiClinton]

A few things you are missing for bike addons are a car radio, lighting, and a battery.

[@BikemanforU]

not sure which tool you are looking at... At what point in the vid????

[@DeuceVi2ion]

Sick vid bro...... exactly what I needed...

[@Zainhus]

Mr Bikeman. what is the type of spanner you used to take the sprocket off as I just cant get it to move. please get back to me asap as I cannot ride my bike.

[@kelldurb8221]

hey bikeman i have this old schwinn,10spd.anyways i was going to use the back rim for another bike temporarily to check sum things out. i put the rim on and theres no freewheel, cassette does not rotate backwards! so i look into it and its the cranks that spin backwards. Shimano itergear FF i think it says. that hub can only be used with those cranks. the freewheel effect is actually the cranks inside the bot. bracket. could be an idea for vid? i would watch it. unless you already have one?

[@cameron5565]

how do i find out what size crank i need, Im replacing the entire crank from a mountain bike with 3 gears instead of the one shown in your video. Is there a size difference i need to be aware of, i just want to buy the right piece the first time. thanks

[@Jrez]

they look like rocks, that thing ever get left at the beach overnight?

[@maxmason6053]

Love that bearing cup tool./ Wonder what Pesci would have used it for in a movie ?

[@1percenters698]

What's the name and size of that particular Press fit tool for installing the bearing cups ??

[@kennethamburn3840]

Bikeman ,have a old crusier 1950's I broke bolt on top of headset,cant get goose neck out HELP!! any ideas on how to get it out ? I need to replace & clean bearrings but cant till I get headset or goose neck out.HELP ! ken

[@justindwinells1663]

can you change the cranks from one to 2 piece cranks

[@biggcaddie]

hey bikeman I have a older schwinn tricycle and I want to paint it and upgrade it some. I don't know how to disassemble the rear axle. I also was wondering if I can get better bearing for it

[@joeyb7373]

I have a vintage bike that iam not sure what model or how old can u tell me where to look for numbers. Thanks

[@smileyrod11]

DID YOU MAKE THAT BIKE STAND LET ME KNOW THANK

[@troycalloway1858]

thanks for all you do bike man!

[@chiefwaz]

I just did this on a 50s Schwinn but the cranks hit the chain guard any ideas how to troubleshoot?

[@Drewavila]

also if u have a one piece crank can u convert it to a 2 or 3 piece crank?

[@rubenpatino1473]

hey mr. bike man dont you need to greas up the cups befor putting them into the frame or is it for metal on metal contact only.

[@ivanhsanchez84]

so I have a ten speed that I striped down and want to turn into a fixie and it just happens a one piece crank on it or was on at this point.what do I need to put in a bottom bracket since it has no thread? help and thanks

[@MattmanCDN]

Can you get this in Black ? anodized or painted or even better powder coated? Its for a schwinn super 3 cruiser thats missing its crank.

[@patrickcrosby3824]

I recently acquired a 1999 Huffy Ironman Bike with the one piece crank, although there are three sprockets. There is a bit too much play so I need to do something. I will probably do something like what you do in the video. But I am just wondering. Is it possible to fit a more modern style bottom bracket in this think and modern crankset? Probably wouldn't be worth the cost (unless I got it all used) but still wondering whether that is an option.

[@esaipalomo5811]

Do smaller vbikes have smaller bearing or are they pretty much universal

[@privatename8888]

I'm working on a friend's huffy pro beach bike and the chainring slips with the chain and wheel on when under a load. I've noticed that the chainring does not have a pin to hold the chainring from slipping. Is that normal or do you think it has a square hole under the nut to hold it that has stripped out? I do not have a spanner wrench to take the nut off. Could I purchase a new crankarm and chainring like the one you used for this bike? Any input would help to do it myself. I'm trying to save money doing the work myself

[@CollectiveConsortium]

Anyone figure out the seed mystery? I think they were either dropped into the seat post at a time when the bikes seat was off? Maybe a small hole in the tube somewhere and every time they ate an apple they dropped one seed thru the hole? Or the seeds were put there on purpose as a natural way to stop moisture from stating sitting there?

[@DieselRamcharger]

feces. seat mouse shitting down the seat post.

[@boddlook]

I did exactly what you did but for some reason the sprocket keeps hitting the bike frame. And yes I put the sprocket on the right side of the bike. Any ideas what I could be doing wrong? Thanks

[@BikemanforU]

Gotta see it, shoot a vid and send it over

[@josejn2007]

Nice video. Very useful. Thanks for sharing.

[@CurtisChad]

Thanks BikeMan... curious to what spanner tool you used and size on the lock ring? Does the lock ring need to be tight before the lock nut?

[@hetjaar]

bikeman, do you know of a sealed bearing that will replace the cased bearings?

[@IAmEmmanuelMondesir]

What’s the size of these bearings if you don’t mind me asking

[@mercywalschek662]

my husband likes to call the "kentucky " socket the "universal metric"!

[@BikemanforU]

I like that..

[@richardpanameno9860]

is it the same for road bike? please reply

[@chadhaynes3171]

Would this same method work on a multiple speed bike Cruiser cuz I'm working on getting my bike fixed and I've been getting it up and going cuz I haven't been take care of that well so I've been slowly getting it fixed and learning how to maintain it I just need to know what size washer you used cuz I really would like to keep the bike I have the cranksets My Kryptonite to keep from getting messed up

[@Sammybizness]

Educational and entertaining, nice work guys.

[@BikemanforU]

So glad you liked it... Please subscribe for lots more entertainment... IT'S FREE

[@Richard_L_Y]

What type of grease; is the best?

[@AleanaRodriguez]

help .. how do i know which type or size of replacement parts (bearins, nut etc) i need to search online? making sure i get the ones my bike needs (huffy bike model 56370 >> cranberry womans cruiser)

[@thenewfire]

Most bikes that sell today are entry level. So most bikes today still use these 1 piece cranks, including almost all cheap BMX bikes

[@BikemanforU]

Never Fear Ryan... You know the rest

[@MJRamirezVideo]

Cool video thanks for sharing

[@jesusduarte5940]

Orale chingon homie I OWN a schwinn legacy cruiser love old school bike's/lowrider bike

[@acguy409]

The seeds came down one of the tubes. Either the seat or the bars were left open for a while when parked under a tree.

[@bradyadam0717]

@bikemanforu I have this same style bike I am restoring for fun. The sproket and pedal post are in great shape but I took them off since I am painting the bike. Is there an all in one kit I can get to replace the bearings and also one for inside the handlebar assembly? Thanks

[@BikemanforU]

Yes we sell a bearing kit for this. Headset bearing kits are coming up real soon

[@kevyleven007]

Low price and easy to work on.I love one piece cranks

[@justjordan8018]

OMG 1000 10x best tutorial about taking care of the forsaken 1 Piece BMX Crank from my MTB ... now if I could only find an 3 gear 1 Piece Crank ... FUCK!

[@pault040210]

[@JamieShultz]

[@marcgini1443]

[@Mrodriguez231]
