BMX cranks

Don't alot of BMX bikes use three piece cranks in an ashtabula bottom bracket shell?

The bottom brackets for three pc cranks are available in varying lengths, especially the square taper bottom brackets which is probably match the cranks available in the kits. So you can modify the width of your cranks with a longer bottom bracket.

I know but they look like a dog's breakfast with the big black spindle sticking out and chrome cranks stuck on the end. The one piece looks so much better. See the picture of 1 piece & 3 piece on my bike below.

Ohhhh, I had NO idea the cranks need to be that wide! Is that hard on your knees if you have to pedal?

It's hard on my arms taking it off the bike and it's hard on my legs walking uphill to the dusbin to dispose of it. We have 3 bins here - a red one for kitchen waste, a yellow one for plastics, foil and paper and a big brown one for Chinese bicycle kits!

Stuff to seal a leaking tank

I came across this stuff on my computor. It claims to seal any tank up to 5 gals. It looks like pretty good stuff and I probably heard about it on this forum, saved it and then forgot about it until I found it today.
The three great things about short term memory loss are:
1. You get to hide your own Easter eggs
2. You meet new people every 20 minutes
3. You get to hide your own Easter eggs
I am going to get some and try it on my leaking tanks but the stuff is $35 a pop and the tank probably isn't worth that much to start with.
