hi, was riding my bike today and the crank thread on my left crank completely died and my pedal hung limply off it 
. . . very upsetting...
i was just wondering if i can buy a new crankset (probably a 32-22 tooth one) without buying a new BB? or am i completely wrong?

take it to your LBS and get them to insert a thread saver.....New crank not always needed."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

oh ok cool
but if i did want to upgrade crank then would i need a new BB? :?0 -
what is your existing crankset?0

Not necessarily - most cranksets fit most bottom brackets. You might want to get a new one just because you've got a new crankset though...0

very nice but a bit expensive for me =[
i was looking more at £50 or less hopefully.
could i buy a 32/22 teeth crankset and take the 22 tooth ring off?0 -

if i purchased that crankset would i be able to take off the 22 tooth chainwheel? and just leave the 32?0
