Bottom bracket installation requires specialized tools. So even if you are able to find the propper size BB you would still need to buy the tooling. That's not very cost effective for something you're only going to do one time. I would weigh out the cost of taking it to a bike shop against the price of a new bike. Good luck

No. BMX bikes typically use a different style similar to this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000IQBBKO/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1417644028&sr;=8-1π=AC_SY200_QL40

No way for me to know...It is best to take it to a bike shop. They can measure it and suggest a replacement. It should run no more than 25-30 dollars and about 15 or so to install it. It will be worth your money to do this because if you do it yourself you will also need a bottom bracket tool so you probably have to spend about the same or a little more than if a bike shop does it for you. Call around and get 2 or 3 quotes.

my son says the problem with these bearings is they make his skateboard go too fast. They are great. I used to own a Skate shop. Bones bearings are by far the best bearings you can buy.

I definitely think you should repack the bearing... I was able to repack it in just a few minutes. Just be careful when removing them. You don't want to damage them. I believe you would have to pull the shaft if you have to replace them. Make sure you use high quality grease that can withstand high temps.

The bottom bracket is the external bearing type, it will fit several bottom bracket widths. These cranks will come with a new bottom bracket.

I had bad luck with bones reds, had to return them twice because of some grinding issue, then got some super reds worked perfectly and runs extremely smooth especially if you clean and lube them on occasion. If you would want to go the cheaper route you have the possibility of getting a few bad bearings vs paying a little more getting better quality. as for which ones last longer I do not know.

I would recommend Wellgo V12 copy pedals over the Diamondbacks. Look at Chain Reaction or Niagara Cycle Works. The Diamondbacks didn't last very long before the bearings crumbled.

I am not sure,, kind of thinking you might need the 19b size?? I had a very hard time finding a replacement, I think it might have started when i bought a pair of mislabel covers. I would suggest calling the bearing buddy website if they have one. I just dont want to steer you wrong, it was such an ordeal i am not totally clear which of the 3 purchases really fit. sorry, good luck

Those are the bearings and they shouldn't be falling out. You might want to contact Marcy. They are good at making things right. The down side is you will have to disassemble the uprights to replace the part.

I researched the bike referred to and found that this bike is called the Mongoose. It is a full suspension bike and has a derailleur shift mechanism. The Sunlite HD training wheels are shown with a bike that uses a derailleur shift mechanism but it can not be a "quick release axle". The Sunlite kit uses screw on axle studs and nuts to adapt to either sae or metric threads. Ed

I Had a similar problem. The chain guard wouldn't let me mount the motor low enough to attach It to the bottom rail. I bought a new bracket from kingsmotorbike.com . They have just about any part you would ever need. You could possibly get a longer bolt from home depot . You may have to get creative . Goodluck

Personally, I've had the same problem. I would suggest getting new bearings (I prefer Reds), and wheels (Sector 9 is the best in my opinion). Your trucks should be fine. Oh, and just to keep your bearings moving properly, invest in some speed cream.

I would not buy these again. I bought 2 and the Abs on one failed. It cost me a lot of time and money to diagnose. I bought a Moog to replace the defective one. This is too bad since the bearing part seemed well made.

I would suggest upgrading your bearings. You can get something faster. Skate shops or the Internet will have a wide selection to choose from. Research online about the various bearings that are available. You can pick them up pretty cheap or go all out and get high end bearings. You can also replace the wheels depending on what surface you skate on. My daughter has not done so but you can get a recommendation from a skate shop. I would definitely replace the bearings if you want to go faster. I hope this helps.

Personally, I would purchase some standard trucks to fit standard 8mm bearings, because in the long run, your bearings can break, get dirty, or you might just want faster ones, and it would be much easier for you to find bearings, wheels, and bolts in that size, and there's more variety in the 8mm size. I don't really understand, do 8mm or 7mm not fit your trucks as in their bore is to small?

Actually, the bearings are very good. The quality of the entire thing is good. My son rides it constantly & he's never had any problems with it.

Can you find the bracket anywhere? I have the laser and sky scout but the mfg does not have any brackets left. Pls reply to jbonney@koreskolaw.com Thx
