The Monza Upgrades Part 3 video is finally here....and we failed miserably. Well it was more of my fail than Bernie's as I'm the one that should make sure that we have all of the parts and tools we need. I thought we had it since I picked up the spacer for the sprocket but you'll see there was something else I missed this time around.

You guys are so laid back even when a temporary setback comes along. Some dudes would be throwing tools and cursing but you're just like No Big Thing Monza bike to be continued. See you in part 4.

@cruisinginthe808 2 года назад

We were bummed for sure but it just gave us another reason to get back at it and try it again. We actually filmed part 4 today and I'll have that out next week so you can see if we actually completed it or not! Thanks for watching and for the comment!

Bernie is a good bike mechanic...a good mechanic is always learning.

@tinystacker 2 года назад

Great video! I used profile bottom bracket and 19mm profile spider/elite chainring/and the same gt cranks as you on my Monza 26, and it worked out really well. I use the Monza on all the dirt trails along the LA river path. It's a killer bike

@cruisinginthe808 2 года назад

We just filmed part 4 today and those GT cranks look sweet! Love how they look on the chrome Monza. If I were to race again, this is the bike I'd choose. This thing is quick, nimble, and easy to ride. Thanks for watching and for the comment!

@cruisinginthe808 2 года назад

Yeah, that stem does have a nice deep chrome on it. It's pretty badass for a stock stem!

@Ch0medrag0n 2 года назад

id love to see the process to convert the stock monster quad cranks to a Redline Flight or Se Vridge. I still love the redlines from back in the day the current ones look good but i know nothing about the stock MQ cranks that are found all over the se line?

@cruisinginthe808 2 года назад

We'll keep that in mind. I've been thinking about changing them so if I do we'll be sure to make a video about it. Yeah, I'm not super familiar with the stock cranks on the Monster Quad. I really want a set of Profile cranks from back in the day! Those things are $$$ though so maybe if I can find a sale someplace, I'll try and pick a set up. Thanks for watching and for the comment!

@amazinggrace831 2 года назад

Let me know what tools you need to remove and install new bottom bracket. I just got my 26” Monza and the Manuel in the box is generic. I like Park Tools so if you find out what is needed I would appreciate it. The Manuel states that after 50 miles you have to check for tightness so I will be needing the tools. Thank you.

@Mrcrd78 2 года назад

Be careful with those cranks. They strip easy

@cruisinginthe808 2 года назад

Do they? Thanks for the tip! Thanks for watching and for sharing that!

@johnvillanueva4962 2 года назад

That particular Gt bars get 3 different rise sizes , I myself got the middle one but should’ve gotten the lowest one…

@cruisinginthe808 2 года назад

Is that middle one too high for you? I kinda like the size of these except the bars are a little too wide right now. I may trim off a little on each end. Thanks for watching and for the comment!

@amazinggrace831 2 года назад

I was doing some research and I was told that the Park Tool BBT-32 is the tool needed to remove the bottom bracket.

@cruisinginthe808 2 года назад

Thank you so much! I found a tool that worked by asking a friend but it's one of those generic Amazon tools with no name brand on it. If you email me or DM me on Instagram, I can forward you the pick of the tool I was told would work. We used it on the part 4 vid coming out soon and so we know it worked! Thanks for the Park Tool version! Yeah, I like their stuff too!

@amazinggrace831 2 года назад

@@cruisinginthe808 The park tool you guys used in part 3 to remove the sprocket seems like Bernie had to thread it on with force. Is that the correct tool? CCP-22 park tool crank puller? I would think it should thread on with out the adjustable wrench. Thanks for the info. I don’t have DM or instagram. I’m old’ school.

@shawng8432 2 года назад

@@cruisinginthe808 Side note question- what’s your take on the 2021 Monster Quad over the newer Fat Quad? The Fat looks to be a bit small for taller guys. Would you choose the 21 Monster verses the Fat after riding both? Thank you for your input!

@cruisinginthe808 2 года назад

@@shawng8432 - My friend @wheeltok let me ride his Fat Quad and that's a 26". For me personally, I like 29's better just because they give me more room so I love my Monster Quad. It's my most comfortable bike. But when I rode his Fat Quad, I can see why it's a good wheelie bike. You sit up a little closer to the bars so I think it's easier to pull up. I was surprised at how light it was too. He loves that bike and it works for him. I'd still choose my Monster though. I have it pretty dialed in now after playing around with the bars. See if you can ride both of them to see how you like them. Good luck man!

Aloha and mahalo for the informative vids. What comfortable bmx seat would you recommend for a beeeeg okole? I would prefer a bmx looking fat seat versus a beach cruiser type seat for my big flyer. Mahalo 🤙🏾

@cruisinginthe808 2 года назад

Bernie is going to pick up a Brooks seat. We’ve heard good things about it but I’m a bit skeptical until I can try it out on my own. Hard to get an old school type seat that’s also comfortable too. I opted for the softer seat for my pansy ass! Haha! Once he gets the Brooks we’ll do a video on it! Thanks for watching and for the comment! Aloha!! 🤙🏼

@timgremore3901 8 месяцев назад

Use compressed air to put your grips on it works great

@cruisinginthe808 8 месяцев назад

Yeah they sure do make it easy if you have one. Bernie does but he chooses not to use it because it takes some time to fill up the tank with air. And that thing is noisy! Thanks for the suggestion and for watching! 🤙🏻

@calvinchinnery6644 2 года назад

I might be wrong but can't you just knock the crank spindle through the bottom bracket and remove it to allow you to insert your removal tool? I'm fairly sure the spindle has no threads or anything to stop it moving. Let me know if I'm wrong.

@TuesdaysTurn 2 года назад

It's a square taperd JIS 68mm Euro BB. I don't think you can just knock the spindle through, but I could be wrong depending on make/model. I'm almost positive the drive side is reverse threaded also. So when you install, you install drive side first, counter clockwise to tighten. Non-drive side you tighten clockwise. To remove, you do non-drive side first counter clockwise to loosen, and then drive side clockwise to loosen.

@cruisinginthe808 2 года назад

No, we needed the right tool. The spindle was held by the cups. I was able to get the right tool and it worked! Stay tuned for part 4!

@cruisinginthe808 2 года назад

Yes, you nailed it. It's threaded and after some work we got it out. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Hey you could always water sand it 1500 grit 2000 and keep on sanding and use mother polish if you want those crank set to look like Chrome it will super easy and it's actually pretty fun Nice bike keep it up I'm going to do a hutch tribute bike as well on my channel

Just subbed to your channel! Nice job! I have a Zooz 750 myself! Love that thing! Thanks for the tip on polishing the cranks.
