><><><><>THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED BY 3 25 CENT WASHERS! THANKS EVERYONE, I'VE REGAINED MY FAITH IN MY lbs AND TAKE BACK ALL THAT I SAY, BASICALLY THEY JUST DIDN'T FEEL THEY SHOULD GO OUT AND GET THE WASHERS FOR MY DAD WHO IS TAKING CARE OF THIS FOR ME. THANKS AGAIN!<><><><><><><><


Alright, I just switched some parts over to another frame and the LBS says they need all sorts of spacers etc. and can't get it done. This is where the problem is:

I'm running a new old stock Jay Mirron signiture frame and trying to put on:
XS- 3pc cranks
profile blackjack sprocket 36t, the thicker one with a kmc 415h chain and acs fatclaw freewheel.

Can anyone tell me what spacers I need to make these parts work?????? Is there a spacer kit or somethign I can pick up somewhere that just has tons of spacers? I hate LBS's! they don't seem to know Sh!T

The spindle is the same diameter as on Primo Powerbites (22mm), so just get some spacers for those.

would that make sense that those are the only spacers I would need ot make this work? unfourtantly I am unable to see this bike for myself being away for school, they are supposed to bring it to me and the last thing i want to see is this nice shiny biek show up with 1 pc cranks and plastic pedals!

I just checked out what you said and checked at dans comp, under bottom brackets would I need the part called "primo spacer" would that contain what I need? If anyone can tell me what spacers even are exactly that would be wonderful (and yes i know somewhat sad)

I like how you stated earlier that the LBS "doesn't know sh1t", even though you're the one who doesn't know what a spacer is.

And if you don't have the bike yet, I wouldn't recommend doing a thing.

Point well taken, unfourtantly they are known for not knowing anything about BMX's, but yes, i too am known for not knowing much about BMX's coming from a mountain biking past. I know what a spacer is, i think, i am not to proud to admit to be wrong, i am simply curious if my idea of what i always referred to as the spacer (the peace going between the bb bearings or the other little metal piece between the sprocket. . .) or if i should be looking for another part. But yes, it is nieve of me to say they don't know $hit and turn around and ask a ridiculous question. . . .can't deny that haha
