3 piece crank question

[arboc!]

i just got a set of eastern pro cranks, and having never used bmx cranks before i have a question. my cranks came with a bunch of spacers, and im not sure where they should go when i install them.

heres what ive got:
-4 flat spacers that fit flush on the spindle (im guessing they are used to space the non-driveside crank)
-2 small flat washers (im guessing these space the spindle bolts)
-1 of what appears to be a chain wheel adaptor
-1 weird looking spacer that goes from big to small in exterior diameter.

i can supply pictures tomorrow if necessary

-Right, but you may need them for both sides depending on the frame.
-not exactly I think they just provide more surface contact for the spindle bolts.
-exactly
-This one is typically for the drive side spindle.....D

does the last one go inside or outside the chainwheel?

lol...inside....D

[fiddy_ryder]

if the last one is cone shaped, it usually goes on non drive side.

oh, dur... im not in a thinking mood tonight

if the last one is cone shaped, it usually goes on non drive side.

good point if it's really thick (3/4") or so then it's for the non drive side..if it's thinner (1/4-1/2") it's for the drive side....D

the spacer in question is top left... its cone-like i suppose


yeah I would guess the non drive side...really though it doesn't matter you can put either spacers on either side...the cone spacer just looks cleaner on the non drive side...the standard spacers are hidden behind the sprocket...D

thanks guys

hey post a pic when you have it all set up...D

will do, its gonna look dope. i got the cranks in white and the chain wheel in green for my hardtail, so it should look pretty legit.
