MERRITTBMX: HOW TO INSTALL YOUR BATTLE CRANKS

[@zjygkmatt]

I've been hammering my profiles on and off for years now and they're still dandy.

[@mylesregnier2434]

Matt well this is Merritt difference from profil

[@aurteekay6339]

They’re profiles

[@supernoobsmith5718]

Are crank puller tools universal? I know there are some different ones...but are there ones that fit "most"? Good video, answered some questions I had, appreciate it.

[@rodolfogutierrez1913]

Oem tools has one

[@scottjackson671]

I love the GAP sticker on the toolbox. I worked there for 13 years during it’s heyday.

[@comedownbmx3748]

OMG those are some fine cranks

[@flyingcrossbody4456]

Man them cranks look fn swedish(sweet)! I think ima snag me a pair

[@Erickridebikes]

I love Merritt

[@DustinNotJustin]

Me too! :D

[@prinzwheel1094]

wich side goes the thick spacer and the thin spacer how do u know wich side i should put on the sprocket if i dont have a guard

[@Yellowmonkey-g8s]

Could you please tell me how to remove the cranks.

[@bighashgang1990]

My little cone spacer thing on the non drive side has the slightest gap between itself and the bottom bracket shell how do I get it flush

[@muifly4892]

You don't, it's normal

[@jamiefehr2180]

Great how-to!

[@DustinNotJustin]

Thanks Jamie!

[@RealCucuy]

Any idea where I can get one of those crank tools separately?

[@MERRITTBMX]

email us

[@JustGiverEHD1]

are the crankarm bolts alum or steel

[@MERRITTBMX]

steel

[@nicholascampbell3768]

hell yeah guys 👌👌👌

[@DustinNotJustin]

Thanks man!

[@harveydearden3890]

Put these on yesterday. Feel solid and dialled but need new rubber plugs one fell out 😫

[@MERRITTBMX]

We sell replacements. Also do not run the washer behind the crank bolt if you run the plugs.

[@callumgriggs2901]

What affect does running a small crank have to a larger Cranks?

[@MERRITTBMX]

small cranks make spinning a little easier and give you more peg clearance on your feet.

[@GioBMX]

like they said mostly peg clearance but i like really short cranks because its almost like you use less leg power to push on the cranks.

[@videofono6170]

i have 22mm cranks will this tool work for them?

[@GioBMX]

depends on the size of threading from the inside

[@matthewwiggins9898]

im getting these cranks on monday and my friend says i have to get a new sprocket i have the madera guard sprockeet will it matter.

[@MERRITTBMX]

does the sprocket use a sprocket bolt or is it spline drive?

[@GioBMX]

@@MERRITTBMX you guys replied and he never came back.

[@zackb9690]

How do you remove crank

[@dennisd4452]

Dennis here. I know this video is a few years ago. I’d like to know if you guys are going to have a titanium spindle 4 2022. Make it so, please, Ricky Lopez. Thank you. BMX 4 life. Peace ✌️

[@randyreynolds6508]

The RODEO PEANUT GUY !!

[@rainbowcadaver5865]

How do you take them off

[@MERRITTBMX]

take out your crank bolt. Thread in the crank tool with no washers and then hit the crank tool with a mallet or hammer to remove the arm.

[@michalisaristodemou4421]

Did anyone else catch the prototype chrome final drive coaster?

[@rawr4233]

OMG sooo clean ✨

[@GioBMX]

make 160mm cranks and matte black

[@Jacob-ju5hw]

get animal akimbos mine r 160 matte black

[@mertyaldz65]

Do you want a bmx gold kit?

[@CarlosACruz-jm5mq]

DustinNotJustin do the battle cranks have lifetime warranty

[@MERRITTBMX]

yes. just save your reciept

[@jjglaser]

I need more explanation on how to use the spacers for spacing.

[@GioBMX]

just make sure your crank doesn't hit your frame

[@matthewwiggins9898]

Nvermind my local bike shop doesn't sell them but I have a sprocket bolt

[@lucassantos-hh3uf]

They need to do the ruby kit

[@laloherrera188]

Does the crank tool come with the cranks or do I need it to buy separately?

[@damienstrollo]

came with mine

[@DustinNotJustin]

The tool is included in the box and saved my life!

[@cucumba7522]

I think I have a small thing that the cranks sit on and not enough washers

[@ErikChromjak]

is it even possible to get them off?xd

[@thomasbmx2206]

the real question is why would you want to take them off? lmao

[@ErikChromjak]

Thomas bmx i dont know just for some reason when something happen lol

[@CollectWithRyan]

Thomas bmx to change bearings

[@DustinNotJustin]

haha yes it is possible. The crank tool is the key to taking them off. No hammer!!! LOL

[@thomasbmx2206]

i know, it was a joke lol

[@stevenroark6727]

Why are the crank arms so hard to get on the spindle ???

[@MERRITTBMX]

They come with a crank tool. watch the video. Use grease and the tool.

[@stevenroark6727]

I bought the Demolition Rig Cranks b4 these came out but I got them in 175 they did not come with a tool and took like 2 days of me working on them on and off to get them on . I wanna get 165 mm cranks and I'm thinking about getting a set of battle cranks in 165 but don't wanna go thru that hassle again but the battle cranks looks easier to put on

[@dylanward2083]

Steven Roark how did you get yours on

[@jessarellanes6648]

Nice

[@lilbitcloudy3882]

Nice one

[@jonnyrochester1141]

Please do not use multi-grips. No. Also, a claw hammer shouldn't be anywhere near a bike.

[@jzxph-8244]

Jonny Rochester r u dumb

[@bmxriderforlife1234]

bmx street no hes not but clearly you are. never use metal on metal. hammer on bikes is a no no. rubber mallet or a piece of wood between the bike part and the hammer. second the vice grips. completely valid point. buy an adjustable wrench.

[@AMM1998]

those are channel locks, not vise grips. Sorry to be a dick lol. But yeah everything about this made me cringe. That crank tool looked mangled after installing one set of cranks. You can tell this dude is a rider and not a mechanic. A claw hammer should be nowhere near a bike shop unless you're building ramps

[@GioBMX]

@@bmxriderforlife1234 and the final mix up, don't use adjustable because as your torquing down they move slightly and make your nut or bolt more susceptible to rounding out, just but the correct (non sae) wrench

[@ちびたく-i4y]

日本に代理店てあるんですか？

[@gta5.clipss537]

i’m putting mine on rn and it’s going smoothly, I’m just concerned about how I’m gonna get them off. anyone know how?

[@MERRITTBMX]

you use the tool without the spacer

[@mhomedabbas6344]

[@juanandrescurbelo1563]

me gustan los videos porque ago bmx

[@tylergreene2745]

Cranks shouldn't take that much effort to put on

[@mixtermike]

DOPE!

[@DustinNotJustin]

Thanks!

[@kondoki09]

nujabes!

[@shanemerritt188]

My name is SHANE MERRITT today I found your web site and was blown away by how awesome it was to see my name on bike parts.So after watching several videos of team riders I quickly went to the home page to see some killer parts .Ultimately I got on your page and well I was embarrassed by the unprofessional workthat was being performed.I was saddened so I quickly I realized how badly Merritt Bmx needs my help. I have been building and riding since before mongoose started .So if you need help contact me.

[@GioBMX]

i bet back in your day getting 2 tires off the ground without a ramp was unheard of

[@kingvegeta7866]

That’s unnecessary for cranks. They need a special tool just to put them on smh just get some odyssey thunderbolt cranks or traditional 3 piece cranks. FYI spline drive sucks.

[@AMM1998]

The tool is included lol.Go buy thunderbolts if you want then lol

[@GioBMX]

its 1000% necessary because they are the company that made them and they know whats the best way to make their product last the longest without issues, and they are trying to keep young riders from possibly hurting them selves, their frames, and cranks from being hit with a hammer. But go enjoy your 180MM cranks and replace that little 6 piece ring every month.

[@jefffrost4826]

One minute into the video and hammering bearings in with a metal hammer? Yeah, no.

[@yanniksm]

not good tutorial
