today i bought me a some Haro crankarms and they are the sweetest thing i ever ridden. it took about 2 hours to customise them so they would fit onto my mongoose crankaxlethingy and now they RUN like DMC!! :D i now like haro crankarms!!

Why didn't you just use the spindle, bearings, and cups that came with the Haro cranks?

And DMC doesn't Run, he nosemanuals.

I know who Run DMC is; hence the capitalized "r" in Run.

i had to put a countersink into them where the crankarms join the crankaxlethingy, because they are not compatible with Mongoose crankaxlethingys. :D

If your "customizations arent just right you will strip out the inside of your arms then they will move a lot untill one day they will just spin around and around. lol Be carefull
