I have a bike
I was told it was a haro
I'm not 100% sure it is
But I'm looking to get an aftermarket crank
Any ideas what would fit and be a good choice?
Thanks

if you can tell me how tall you are and if it's a 24 or a 20inch regular bike then i can tell you your desired crank size. like he said profile cranks are good you just need a good shop and the profile crank tool and is the only cranks i ever use.

No, I would go with 175's IMO.

I'm 5'7" and I run 180(only choice in size) powerbites and it isn't bad imo.

Also quick question: when pedaling sometimes there is a weird click once in a while(hard to elaborate) does that happen to anyone else and is there a way to fix it?

Probably the pedal loose bearings shifting. mine do it often.

Hmm, really. It seems more like the cranks because it kind of feels like a drop when pedaling like if you were shifting gears on a mtb/road bike.

Could be the driver if the chain itself is skipping.

I think it is that, I find it annoying.

In my opinion. But yeah 175-180 Profile's. Your preference.
