    what fitting? what ring/wheel fitting? what BB size?

    Or make/model/year of bike/frame?

    Somewhat vague. Maybe some pics would help.

    which one had MTB BB the other had BMX.

    and does it really need cranks? or is it just new bearings that are needed or..........

    i think its bmx cranks thats on it already.......basically he wanted a jump bike because thats what all his mates have. He swapped his ipad for it and it was fine for a couple of weeks before the usual happened (i wish i never got this....too many things going wrong with it) so now he wants to strip it down and rebuild it so its like a new bike. Hes already had to change the forks and seat, take a brake off. The wheels are ok but he wants to change the cranks and bb.

    any BMX crankset then. with a BMX bb rather than any of the other fittings. (mid/Spanish etc)
