Thanks! It is good to hear from some one who gets it! I will talk to my set crew and try to work on my hand placement and basement lighting, maybe practice before hand in my spare time!!! Ha.Ha. {Seriously} Thanks!

This guy sounds like he hates doing this video and hates life. Or he's sounding really quiet and depressed because his wife doesn't like him toying too much around with his bike....... my girlfriend get quite mad at me because she feels like i'm giving more attention to the bike than her. If I had to choose between my Cervelo t1 with dual HED-3's and another dual of Jet 90's with Shimano FC-7950 Dura Ace Crankset, I would choose my bike :), goodbyye hooeee

@RockyShitNigga Yah I was doing it early in the morning so was trying to keep it down because no one else really shares my early rise habits. And my wife my might have a tad bit of jealousy toward my bikes!

Is a Crank extractor neccesary?

[mntbiker036]

@raukt Yes. You can buy them on line just make sure you get the one that fits your style crank. Spending the money on a tool kit is the way to go because you get tools to do most every job on older and newer bikes. You can buy a good DIY kit for about 50 bucks.

Hey bro , hope your doing good... i wanted to ask u after i took the crank off can i take the arm off the gears or is it all welded together??

[herpderpmonkey]

I'm new to biking; one of my pedals of my fixed-gear bike stripped the threading off the crank arm and fell off.

Is there a name for the other crank arm (the non-drive one without the spider)? I'm trying to find the manufacturer but I don't know what to call that item (crank arms and crank sets all show the ones that hold the chain)

Thanks for the advice i just dont like how i have to buy all the tools to do this job when maybe i will only do it once or twice.There must be a way to do this stuff without paying for special tools.

[comedydrummer]

This is what I needed to know. I've got to get that crank extractor, first I thought that was someone's nose...
