Crank Adjustment - Chain Line - Sunday Aaron Ross EX Pro BMX Bike Repair Finale - BikemanforU

/ bikemanforu How to adjust the drivetrain on your bike with step-by-step instruction from KZbin's award-winning guru of DIY bicycle repair. Free shipping www.bikemanforu.com on bike parts, tires, tools, and cycling accessories. Last video in the three-part mini BMX series on how to assemble a bike you purchased online. Watch the entire how-to playlist here bit.ly/1oAINZH In this DIY tutorial, BikemanforU begins his repair by analyzing the problem. The crank issues are related to an off centered chain, requiring chainline or chain sight adjustment, necessating removal of the rear wheel to better line up the axle, as well as removal of the crank and bottom bracket inspection. This video also covers pinch bolts, and re-tightening of compression bolts, carefully tightening up each side of the crank until both sides are even and the wheel axle is balanced. While he tended to overtighten in an effort to install the parts correctly, the bike owner gets kudos for knowing how to install left and right side pedals fairly correctly, and also for realizing when he's over his head and needs to consult a professional. The featured bike is a beautifully glorious white and orange Sunday Aaron Ross EX Pro BMX that was purchased online, arrived in a box at the new owner's home. The manufacturer, Sunday Bike, has attempted to make assembly easy by requiring basically an allen key and a wrench for the job, and, quite understandly, the new owner was quick to put it together. But when the job turned out less than, he brought the bike into our shop in Westhampton Beach, NY.

That yard stick trick was CLUTCH bro. Thank you. 🙏 I was bout to quit on this bike as far as the 3 piece crank goes for now 😂 on to the next one. But I did that trick and now I can see I just need like one or two spacers on top of my cone spacer… hmm I never would’ve thought that side would’ve needed to go out further but I guess it does! This has been driving me up the wall all the week you have no idea how glad I am to see and know what’s going on

Glad I found you on here, learning a lot since I started watching....Thank you for all you do....I definitely appreciate the vids!!!

[@sidlynch5016]

I'm building a custom wtp BMX. I've had some issues right at the last point... Putting the chain on! Took it out a it kept skipping. I thought it maybe the chain being too lose as it did look as though it could be tighter so I've trying and succeeded in taking some links out but with no joy.. Now it won't go on! Two things I've now learned; adjust from the back wheel and check the alignment. I'll try with new eyes tomorrow... Many thanks, so glad I came across your video. Regards. Sid

[@cesarsoto852]

[@blueangel9544]

I am so subscribing. I really need your help. My bike was put together by walmart because I got the one from display. And it just never rode right. It was more hard to bike around than it was to walk and I never can barely coast. I remember how easy bikes used to be to ride and I knew something was up. I adjusted the breaks, the gears, aired up the tired, ect. And it improved it some but nothing like it was supposed to be. It was still almost unbearable to ride. And I noticed the chain was out of line and sort of loose at the end but didn't know how to fix it. If this is the problem, I am hoping your video will help me fix it. Although, my bike has a lot of gears so I am going to have to be careful. But thank you so much for posting this. Even if it doesn't help issue, it is always good to learn how to fix your own stuff. I would have taken it to a proffesional by now but I can't afford it at the moment. So your channel will help a lot.

i love fixing bikes doing it since i was little i dont have to go to bike shops anymore unless i need something and i put it on myself shops where i live dont tighten things down good a long time ago i needed my headset tightened and i went to ride it and the stem came loose almost got hurt so i do it myself now i even fix my friends bikes and they never have any problems

[@tracimckinney9736]

thanks for the vid brother man

[@DouglasThompson]

If you loosen the bolts that wrap around the axle first then address the bolts on the ends it is not only easier to deal with but it is the correct order. Lossening the end bolts before the others would be the equivalent of loosening the top cap of the steerer tube before you loosen the stem. Also if one of the bolts is crazy tight on one side your best bet is to try the other side before stripping out a head...also after loosening the bolts that wrap around the axle.

[@WickedG5150]

Pinch bolts.

[@chanceking5668]

Thanks that fixed one problem on my bike put I have the same break system as this one and they grind really bad but not on the rim on the u were they both meet and the meatel is grinding together and the brakes cant even touch the rim

Thanks bike man! I specially like the way you try to provide alternatives for us, the ones who can't afford fancy bike tools. I got really interested in you explanation of how important is a bike stand. I just flip my trusty steed on its handlebars and its seat and do the repairs that way. How much better is a bike stand? Here in Bolivia there aren't that many bike shops that uses a bike stand, and I never found myself really needing one. Should I invest in one? Why would I? Thanks again bike man! Keep on doing a great job!

If the frame uses a standard width BB shell, check the crank manufacturer's manual for where the spacers need to be. It will save you a lot of time and trouble.

[@dariusk2171]

U da man bike man!

[@Dxnniis]

wow im guessing he got this from dans comp where i got mine. when you get the bike the cranks stem forks back wheel and brakes are already installed. all you have to do is tight some bolts and put the front wheel on and the handlebars on. mine was pretty much ready to go after i put the front wheel and the handlebars and air in the tires. Its crazy how all this stuff was messed up with his.

[@kennethflorek8532]

Actually, I understand "bikes-in-a-box," like those from Amazon, Bikesdirect, etc., generally come from the manufacturer assembled, except for parts that would make the package larger for shipping, like pedals, bars and front wheel. The fork is generally turned around to shorten the package, and the front brake cable is disconnected in order to pack the handlebars somewhere else. The assembled parts may not be tightened and adjusted well, just put together. When I redid every bolt and adjustment on my recent bikein-a-box, as recommended, some of the bolts had been tightened so hard I thought I was going to strip the heads, while others were loose to the touch. I really think whoever got the bike in the video, got those parts mis-assembled that way, and had no idea how it should have been.

I have a bmx 20" frame with 16t chainring,and spoked wheels. I want to change the spoked wheels to mag wheels that have a different size cog,i also changed the chainring size to the relevant 44t for the mag wheels. Upon fitting the 44t chainring it hits the side of the frame bar because its bigger than the previous chainring,do i require chainring spacers so the 44t chainring will fit?

Hi, i love your videos ;) I´m having a problem with my bike, it seems the bolts of my crank are allways getting loose, i am tightening them good, but after a few days it gets loose again, it never happened before, just when i was younger and i had alot of weight and it would make alot of pressure there xd... anyway, what can it be? can the crank edges be getting rounded? thanks

How much spline engagement is enough? My crankarm only gets like half of the splines covered. I am only using the spacers and no washers. The crankarms have like a 1/4 inch of clearance on the drive side and like 3/8 on the non drive side. It is almost as if the bb is too wide or the axle piece is too narrow. I am thinking of grinding down the non drive side spacer at the machine shop to at least get another 1/8 of spline engagement.
