my bike had the same crank problem u need a new thing that goes through and conects the cranks to each other i cant remmeber what its called but thats what u need it worked for me

@RCDUMMIESRC hi im building my hitman atm and ive got some 120m bombers by marzocchi ive forgoten how to spell it haha they are lock out and everything they are lovly and dont get the MZ DJs cos they suck they brake alot my m8 had some and they broke real quick so i reconmend the 120mm bomber LOs or the pikes they are nice but they might hve to much travel for the frame one its done you should get a vid of it on man
thanks im uploading a video of my bike before i get my yellow slick cable and single speed fitted but i got all the rest on it looks nice check out my channel for the picture of it or wait and watch it thanks.
nice bike. i was looking at hardrocks but i got a good deal with a haro escape. i regret getting the haro because the hardrock is better bike all the way. i want to convert mine to a single speed. its not hard right?
its easy enough if u have the tools and i have friends that own a bike shop and friends who can help me if i got stuck but its easy enough to do cirtain bits like takin the cables and stuff off and putin on the chain tenioner
hey lets start off with u have a sick bike! i love my 09 hardrock disk. but i do so much jumping and can u plz tell me how to convert to single speed and is it alot of money??? also i used to ride bmx do u think bmx grips bar ends pedals ect... will work good for my mtb??
haha thanks its sitin around the back needin a back tire on and brake pads atm i havnt riden it in ages now and i cant afford anything cos i just bought a rm 125 and im skint. yeh its prety easy to single speed it and if u dont wna do it just go to the bikeshop and it should only cost about 30 quid or so not much and i run bmx pedles grips bar ends and stuff on myn it all works but brake levers wont work. and stems myt not depends on what bars u hav on. need any help just ask
omg u shld see my custom hardrock 09 u thnk this is jks mine has shimano lx brakes, marzocchi all mountain 140 mm forks, kona pedals, vuelta rims, maxxis high rollers, and shimano gears nd im gettin hussefelt stem nd bars soon nd i use mine 4 a bit of freeride nd dh nd its sikkkk check out my vids :) but nice bike though, hardrock 4ever
sounds nice man post response to this yeh am buildin a orange hitman atm to cos the are basicaly indestuctible but ive only got the frame hedset and forks atm cos im proply skint cos i just bought a suzuki rm 125 and tht was £1200 and it needs a new clutch and thts lyk £100 so cant aford to finish tht atm
yeh it is stock on the newer hardrocks but this is quite an old one its a 01 or summit i think and it just came with vbrakes alex rims tht bent to easy and rst 80mm travel forks so its not stok on this 1 m8 :)
yeh i think it is but i dont think this hardrck is cos its alot smaller lyk the sme size as dj bikes and i alredy have started putin me muny into a jump bike! 1 of the best! The Orange Hitman a got the forks and hedset for it cos im buildin from frame soo myt take a while to finish. ill get a vid of it on soon
i have that bike.. i got a manitou nixon elite fork, mavic black rims, juicy 7's, and new brake levers first.. but shit after 3 years this bike has had it.. my god its heavy and the shifting efficiency is awful. im gonna get the new race face xc crankset.. have you had any problems after you replaced your crankset??
cool yeh the hardrock sports are heavey but this aint a sprt or pro its jst a hardrock and the bike weighs bout 20 pounds! and wen i replaced my crank set i didnt have any problems.
soz i didnt reply but i aint check the commets until 2day
ya i know the bike isnt the best.. but ive basically replaced the most important parts on the bike for a hell of alot cheaper than buying a "better bike".. im not rich dude.. plus once i got a new crankset the shifting is great.. what do you men you cant polish shit?? wtf does that mean??
i agree with u man wot the fuk does pollish shit meen does i meen i cant clean it if it does its cos i didnt try u dikweed wots te point in polishin it if u ride it hard and get to dirt 2 mins after its polished... and its lot cheaper to custom it thn get new bike!
I think it means you can't improve a shit product by adding good components on it. Don't listent to him. He probably rides a Bob the Builder tricycle. As I said, Hard Rocks are good bikes, save for the stock RST forks and the derailleurs. Since you've changed everything on the bike, but the frame, you're left with the best component of all.
Mate don't listen to little pricks who tell you to buy a better bike. Hard Rocks are known for being some of the sturdiest bikes out there. They're very good bikes. You'll be hard pressed breaking the frame with this thing. I see you have a size Small frame. Looks more like a jump bike that way. Good on you for building the bike up. It looks really cool.
lol.. this one isnt mine rickdafrog.. i have a video of mine.. its alot bigger than this one.. i have an xl frame.. this bike is 321hitman123's bike..
is it hard to convert to single speed?

321HITMAN123 2 years ago
I would only put 110mm max on mine, especialy if the dealer said "110mm max"!!!
Too much travel = Broken Frame at the headset!!

isn't a hardrock for XC? I don't think the frame is made for DJing...Maybe you should put some money into a safe DJ bike...
