  Hey, Bashthebox,

  thank you for this.. again basic enquiry: the current one is differant fitting to the type you shared a link to (that has a hollow bottom bracket type thing), will that workout ok - is it just a case of clearing all the componants of the old one and replacing with this..

  Hi there,
  I hope have Hi there,
  I hope have the right space for basic guidance.
  I have had a fixed speed Langster for some years and it has been a loyal and reliable workhorse that has needed little maintenance. Recently I have had some creaking noise coming from the chainset/ (crank?) that I find annoying. Looking online I see it is not too big a job and would like to attempt changing it myself. Partly behind this is that I got hold of a ‘alternative bike co’ single speed for my 13 year old son as hopefully a way to get him into bikes and building. This too needs the chainset changing and other work. This is basically a long winded way of asking if anyone can guide us what standard set we should go for (nothing for performance but quality at a ok price). Would we need to change the chain(s) and back cog etc.. I think it they are the common threaded shimianno.

  Any helpful tip and suggestions would be great

  Thank you
