one piece? try danscomp.com but I don't think your going to find much of a selection. for one piecers I google some low rider type places. one piece cranks for bmx aren't as popular as they once were.
none of the other bmx mail orders would carry them, I don't think....

whatever you do, don't order danscomp. they seem good but not good support afterward..if go to staff-bmx.com, they are awesome people...NJ NY area, based out of NYC if i am thinking correctly..staffbmx is the cheapest, and run by bikers, ask them a question and they got the answer..they keep u updated on shipping, and if you email em, you get a reply in 1 day usually.
dans is fine. never had a problem with them.
staff bmx is from NJ. very nice as well.

A real bmx crankset takes the same pedals as a MTB. I think it's 9/16. A crappy 1 piece crankset is likely to take 1/2 inch.stosh said:
9/16 like sirchomps-a-lot said..if you got a 3 piece, which you probably do get the 9/16..1/2 is single..junkier..one idea..don't get the sealed, you dont need it..just a suggestion..but staff-bmx.com is awesome, and if its a lil farther and a few bucks more for the shipping i'd perfer that, keep it local, keep it to the riders, and keep it knowledable..you don't need a "sears" of biking like "danscomp" has become..they keep getting bs bikes now.
stosh wants one piece cranks.
staff, empire, albes, etc don't carry one piece.
nothing wrong with "sears" bike stores. they sell the same parts as the rest of the places. however, I always call my orders in just so I know the actually have the part I want. (that goes for any of the mail order joints I use)

yeah, most lbs keep there old parts, and don't really advertise em that much
i just ordered from jensosusa.com but its mostly dh, if not all, dh stuff..i ordered 2 days ago and i think they shipped it either today or yesterxay...they keep you updated with the emails and everything, the prices are good...ill let you know how long it takes for the standard ground shipping, which takes up to 5 business days, which i hope it shouldnt because i want to ride with working bled and working breaks
i took my danscomp book and out and there is one option for a single piece crank..here i sall the info

The 1 piece cranks for a 60's bike might be on the short side and measured in inches.
I would do a search on vintagebmx.com - they should have a bunch more information on where to get 1960's one piece cranks.

it should fit up, with the bearings and everything you need, i am almost positive it fits american..well let us know what you!
i got some parts you can buy from me too..look at the sig, probably a few things you could use
Nothing beats www.Albes.com for customer service to truly helpful descriptions and they ship your stuff out ASAP!
dude staff takes forever to ship to the NW. danscomp is hella fast and good and they know what they r talking about. but. empirebmx.com is the best. no one can beat empire.habitatxskate said:
I like danscomp. Actually, I haven't heard anything bad about staff, empire, albes, etc...
I agree the lbs would be an excellent place to look for one piece cranks but it looks like you've already ordered a set.
