I need to replace the crankset but know very little about what I need. Can someone point me in the right direction?

I replaced the original crankset that comes with this bike (which is actually pretty bad) with a shimano tourney crankset (Shimano FC-A070 Crankset 50/34 x 170mm 7 spd Tourney Black Road Bike). The only special tool that you will need is a crank puller for square taper cranks. You can find a lot of different models in amazon. Any of them can do this job pretty well. Finally, you may need other ordinary tools such as an adjustable spanner and a socket set. And just make sure that the socket walls are not so thick (such as those used for heavy duty jobs), so that you can insert the socket to remove the protection bolt from the crankset (you can see the bolt by removing the plastic cap that covers the crank).

Replacing the crank set is really not that difficult. The hardest thing I think is deciding how much you want to spend. Crankset can cost up to $500 and more. If you are not changing the derailleurs, you probably need to get a crankset with the same number of chainring as the old one. check out this video "How To... Replace Your Crankset" on youtube . I'm sure there are other videos that can help. Good luck...

No way for me to know...It is best to take it to a bike shop. They can measure it and suggest a replacement. It should run no more than 25-30 dollars and about 15 or so to install it. It will be worth your money to do this because if you do it yourself you will also need a bottom bracket tool so you probably have to spend about the same or a little more than if a bike shop does it for you. Call around and get 2 or 3 quotes.

A Retrospec Crankset has a crank arm length of 165mm. No need to worry about pedal strikes!

I googled it and it says its a 68mm english bottom bracket. Depending on what crank your going to use will decide on what shaft length to use on your bottom bracket. Once again.... DO YOUR HOMEWORK!!!

As long as it's a ISO square-taper bottom bracket it should work perfectly with this crankset.

You might want to go to YouTube and enter "Freewheel Replacement". There are a number of videos that explain the process. You will need a Shimano freewheel removal tool that you can get online or at a bike shop.

There are different bcd (bolt circle diameter) for different cranks. If yours is a four bolt pattern it is most likely a 74 bcd and this one would work. However, there are many five bolt patterns such as 110 for compact road and 130 for standard road. So find the bcd for your cranks and you will have your answer.

I replaced the BB ON MY Gaint/ Boulder SE Mt. bike, my cranks had a female fine thead on the cranks arms my puller threaded into the cranks then the bolt on my puller screw into the puller and push against the square taper shaft on the bb and remove the cranks on bb. you may have to remove dust covers on crank arms to see thread on the cranks

You should not need to replace the cable. However, check to see whether the bolts on the bottom of this set are in the same position on your set. You can visit a bike shop with a pic of the new set and find a similar set at the bike shop (or a Wal Mart) to compare with your current set. Also the bike shop staff could help you with your question.

Can't find the specs but it almost certainly will work. Almost all older mtb cranks are the same bolt circle diameter.

Unfortunately I have no idea. We used this as a replacement on an entirely different bike.

Go to J P Cycles web sight they should be able to answer your question. Then go back to amazon with part # because they should be cheaper

This is used for the older single piece cranksets. I use these because I cut up old bicycles and cut them up and weld new ones. www.flickr.com/photos/fredtron

I ordered this because it came up on google search. we got the part number or model number off of the unit that was on our bike.believe it or not the manufacture of the bike had changed the part enough that we could not use it. other than that i could not assist you as to weather this would fit your bike,

The bike shop will be your best bet. It sounds as though you need the rim bent back to "true round" and if they can't they should be able to order you a new one.

It says in the picture: English thread, 68mm(what the other guy quoted was his axle length that he bought to go along with it, and that needs to be selected according to the crankset you are getting, for proper chainring clearance and straight chainline)

Contact them and they will send you a new cord. The 175lb pull is too strong for that crank. I had the beef mine up when it was ripped off its base after the first yime I cranked it. Check my previous post with pictures.
