Single Piece Crank Question
I have a three sprocket, single piece crank and the cassette is bent/warped. Can I replace the whole thing with a single piece crank from a bmx bike? Will I still be able to use my rear cassette, which has 6 sprockets?
Thanks.
Thanks.

The issue is chainring thickness. BMX chainrings are designed for use with a wider chain that won't work with your 6 cog rear freewheel. The narrower chain that works with the freewheel won't fit over the thicker BMX chainring.
