ok her eis the story, i have an old 24" torker rack bmx bike that i want to use the cranks on my current firmstrong cruiser. i have looked but i cant find out what type of BB the torker used and i cant find out what the firmstrong uses. I realy like these cranks and i cant afford to buy a new set or 3pc cranks for the cruiser. can anyone help me out with info or point me in the right direction? also, can i use the hubs from y 24" wheels on a 26" frame? id love to use them aswell on the cruiser. any advice would be awsome and ty for taking time to read this

Ok I'm not the authority ...but my brothers firmstrong has the normal one piece crank. I'm asuming that your bmx is a 3 piece deal. they make an adapter to go from a 1 piece crank to a 3 piece. Most of the people here can tell you where to get one ...or may have and extra they may part with. The bmx hubs will respoke to a 26'' wheel if they are 36 spokes. should fit too.If your wanting to put 24'' wheels on a 26'' frame they do it all the time ..usually with 24''x3'' tires. ...someone that knows can chime in here

No problem. We have a very informative how to section if you get stuck. Someone probably has had a similar problem as you. We seem to change everything and take alot of pictures. :wink:
