Tip: Attach the chainring to the inside of the crankset, making it central to the cassette and a perfect chain alignment. Use the washers on the bottom bracket to guide you, if the alignment is too near the inside of cassette, towards the frame, if needed. Very important.
Came down here looking to confirm this too 😂 was thinking "wait a minute, aren't you only supposed to put a bash gaurd on the outside".
i fitted my new chainring same way,i thought i am only one what doing it that?now i found this video....look better in this way then to put the chairing on left side...are any factors or bad things if i keep it like that?
@@TheRazvancristianyeah your chainline will prolly be off which can cause wear and tear on the chain and loss of efficiency to name a few.
Here is a hack: Hang an old tire from the celling, hook your saddle in it and you've got a repair stand.
That's smart actually
Would this be safe to use on a dropper post?
@@davidgarza2267 yes
I use a strap from my garage door motor bracket. Hook the strap to the seat post and can adjust the height that way. It works but a real bike stand it still much nicer

Hello straight from Poland, from Warsaw, nice movie, although I never recommend Chinese parts, but I am full of admiration for you that you do everything yourself and only with the tools you have in your garage, which is just like me, I have already subscribed to your channel, there is not much now people who make videos about older bike models, go on, some of your videos help me with my own repairs and rework. Thanks, take care and stay well
Should note, you don’t have replace the front crank set if you are short on funds. You can just remove all the chain rings and attach 1x narrow wide. It’s how I’ve done a 1-by conversion when I couldn’t afford it. You can save a lot of money this way since you don’t need new cranks set and tools for the crank set.
Hey there! So can I just put a New chainring (38T) with the stock crank, and the stock 8speed(?
@@juanpinate7319 long as you can find the chainring with correct bolt pattern, no problem.
That was fast haha, thanks a lot bro❤️
hollow crank looks way more cooler than a 3x stock crank with fd hehe
@@GXManiahollow cranks will need replacing more than square bottom brackets . Typical squares can last 5-10yrs or more who knows. Google hollowtech vs square and youll see
I love your video! Last month I got a 2016 specialized pitch sport and I've been upgrading it. Your videos have helped me a ton as most of the parts between our bikes are very similar. Keep it up with these great videos!
I really appreciate this video.Because, as you know, these cranks came with absolutely no instructions.I wasn't sure how many spacers to use.It seems like everybody uses one spacer for a 73 mm bottom bracket.I also appreciate you showing me how to use that tool on the opposite of the drive side to tighten up the cranks.
after watching this.. now I'm ready to change my crank set like yours
If you do this 1X conversion and convert to a more modern cassette and derailleur, I have found it is best to put the chainring on the inside of the cranks and remove any bottom bracket spacers from the drive side. Otherwise, your chain is too far out of line with the largest gears and causes issues (noisy pedaling, chain drops down gears if pedal backwards, etc.)
Love the Zelda music!!! And I can recomend to use a chain guide, that rear derailleur doesn't have block to make the chain more stable and avoid the chain to out from the crankset, but with a chain guide you can solve the problem of chain. :D
Just did the same to my 2011 Giant, rides far better now. Crazy finding your channel at the exact time I'm doing all the same things.
I’m new to mountain bikes and this was very well done and helpful. I have a feeling I’ll be referring back to this in the future.
Really enjoyed your to the point illustrative clip. Its great.
Zelda beats! 👌
One of the best :)
Boss ian
always love to hear it
Pwede pala yun boss Ian 1x8
ito sana itatanong ko sayu idol hehe
Awesome video! Ordered the same set and even the same tools you used. Only issue I had was that in my Specialized Hardrock 29 the crankset was a three piece splined unit so the crank remover needed an adapter. No problem though, I used a short 1/4” drive 11/32 socket and short 1/4” socket extension for the crank remover to push against inside the bottom bracket. Excellent product even if Chinese!!!
I agree with you 100%, I absolutely hate a front derailleur on a mountain bike, period. Whoever invented the narrow wide chain ring set up I commend to no end, what a fantastic idea that has worked out so well for me. I believe the fewer parts on a mountain bike the better as long as all your bike parts work well for their intended function. Keep up making good instructional videos😎😎😎
Keep this series up because my bike is like this and I've wanted a single speed for ages
After buying all stock bike, this vid would be a great to watch.
Some one mentioned you put the narrow wide chain ring on the outside position on the crank. You really want to see whats really going on with alignment. Take a look from the back of the bike. looking across the chain, to see the offset alignment between the front and rear. Now you can see, on the 1x conversion putting the 1x ring on the center position is the correct way.
@Ai He is referring to mounting the chain ring on the inside of the spider. In most cases that will give you a better chain line. It can really go either way but as stated usually best inside or where the middle ring was on a 3x
Also there was no mention of using any spacers with the bottom bracket. On my 3x7 to 1x10 conversion, I learned that I had to use 1 spacer on the drivetrain side. Spacers usually come with the bottom bracket.
I was thinking the same thing as I watched this. Also, there are quite a few 1x conversion chainrings that have a offset flange or built-in spacer to move the chainring a little bit more toward the middle.
Nice job! Just done something nearly identical to my Diamondback Sync 2.0 which I want for a basic street bike. Those IXF cranks are worth the money.
Sir Mark you have a nice ads Spank hex. Ang ganda talaga ng 1x setup.
zelda music! nice touch to your vid. reminds me of zelda a link to the past. fairy scene.
WOW but man I learned the 2/4 vice thing from this. Thats another small life saver. Why didnt I think of it before. Thankyou
Dude, I dig the DIY wheel stands at the beginning of the video!
I like that you went from a budget mountain bike. an started upgradeing it little by little. I did that same thing.then it got out of control lol. Now I'm running 11 speed xtr and xtr brakes lol.
Heck yeah
Three points: Normally with this kind of crank you would install a single chainring on the INSIDE (toward bottom bracket) so that you have the proper chainline. This will be especially important if you put on wide range cassette. Second, no need for that much grease when installing the BB, it just attracts dirt. The spinning of the crank takes place due to the sealed bearings. Third, a two piece bottom bracket usually comes with a plastic inner sleeve that runs between the two halves and serves to minimize contamination.
What the heck? You mean inside the crank arm or inside of the crank spindle? Because notice at 5:11 it only has a groove outside of the crank which i'm referring to inside the crank arm.
Depends. If you are running A litepro chainring with a chaingaurd. The teeth are automatically more centered. Than a typical ring without a chaingaurd. And in my experience have superior performance and more efficiency. Than chainrings without a gaurd placed either side of the crank bolt brackets
Agreed - too much grease in areas that do not need to spin
Great video. I’m normally all about shopping local, but bike parts are crazy expensive right now.
Switched from 3x8 to 1x8 when the chainring of my commute bike was worn out using the exact same kit. Works like a charm.
Bb shell when applying grease be like
Ohhh yeah😎
Thanks man for this. I am thinking the same for my bike. Currenlty I'm on a 3x8 set up and I'm planning to change it into 2x8. Keep it up Sir 💪
2x8 is excellent setup👍
😍 Love the zelda beat 🇬🇧. P. S you made this look so easy
Nice, I did a similiar upgrade to my wife’s bike. Looks way better.
Awesome! For me, 3ple chainring and front shifter is perfect for bike commuting and long distance riding. 1by is perfect for trails.
damn u save me some money but mine big chain ring one or tooth seem to be premature wear
I've got one of them ISF cranks on my main ride. The bottom bracket was crap so you best swap that out for a nice Shimano one (cost me £12 in UK). Other than that you are good to go. Totally agree with you on front derailleurs. They just mess-up the asthetic of the bike in the crank zone. I've just done a 1x10 hardtail that was a 3x9 originally(bought a 10 speed freewheel, obviously). I can't wait to session it after this strange period of viral lockdown ends. Yeah man. That bike looks 100x more dope with the new gearing. Sweet.
Thanks man, it'll be 1x11 soon
@@MCMTB Doesn't that involve a whole lot of extra cost and hassle(?):- getting a differant rear hub (that can accommodate 11x size cassette) and spending out big bucks on a geared rear derailleur(to help with chain slackness). Not to mention a new 11x shifter. That was why I went from my original 9x to a 10x cassette. Also, I found out I can get 10 settings off of a 9x Shimano Alivio shifter (a -1 gear that involves clever use of the thumb to get 2 gear sprockets out of one shifter setting. It works surprisingly well as if it was a 10x shifter) if you have the dexterity. Anyway man. Good vid. New sub. Jobs a gud'n.
I will make sure that 11 speed will fit in my hub
@@MCMTB if you're bike is an 8 speed or more then it should come standard with the shimano free hub. It can accommodate even some 12 speeds. The sram sx and nx are designed to fit on a shimano freehub body so you dont need there xd freehub body unless you want to go with there premium more expensive 12 speed drivetrains
those bbs are not crap they just dont have lube inside of bearings. just lube them and they will serve better than shimano.
I did the exact same thing to my bike. It turned out well just like yours!
Nice job man. I’m in the process of converting my Marlin 5 on a limited budget to something that I think will work better for me so appreciate your effort and video. I can’t wait to rock a 1x instead of a 3x.👌🏽👍🏽
"Downgrading" my hardtail to a singlespeed chainring was the best move I ever made
lool yeah heheh
Considering every top hardtail manufacturer uses a 1X system I’d say you’re bang wrong. Nice try though.
love this vids as have exactly the same bike
Nice up man! I just bought a Cannondale Trail 7 (same of you about the budget) and this is the first up I would like to do!

ganda set -up erp
Im going to fix up my pitch with this guide. I got a roscoe 7 a few days ago and am now trying to give this bike a bit of an upgrade so I don’t have to worry bout it as much when I lend it to friends
I didn't know 1x conversion would be so easy
Having less range is an upgrade nowadays! Interesting times 🤔.
I thought I was the only one wondering this
Yes because it helps with weight reduction and with the chain staying on the sprocket
you dont really need range on mtb since you dont cadence it, so it's just redundand, for most applications. at road bike range and switch step is crucial for riding in groups.
For a road or gravel bike, yes I can understand where you're coming from. But with mtb, a front derailleur is just another heavy part to break on jumps and rocky descents. And also it's alot heavier with all those chainrings. Having more range in the back like a 9-12 speed 11-48t cassette is a better option as it allows for some good range aswell as weight reduction and less complexity on the bike.
@@user-zx2mc6pp8o mtbs need gears lol
Awesome job young man!👍
Subscribed!! i just bought a Gary Fisher fo $125 , so you can imagine what condition its in . Rust bucket. Im going to be watching all your videos, Thank you.
Niiiiice. So satisfying to get all that junk off the bike.
I feel you bro :)
I went single speed on front and back on mine, love how cleaner it looks with no cables or clunky gear shifters, it's like therapy removing that crap
Very satisfying. Did the same thing and added a chain guide. Just sounds and feels so much better, less moving parts to worry about.
Which chain guide did u get, I'm about to this to my giant talon and I'm concerned that the chain may come off on the bumpy trails.
@@d0va I've actually ditched the chain guide and went with an oval chainring instead which has been great. I had an MRP though and didn't have any issues with it and would recommend. I forget the exact model, it was $70 though.
Good reference for my upgrade on my bike, thanks for sharing
Erp can you link the descripsion about the crank set and the chain ring thank you. Nice upgrade👍
I've just ordered on ebay. I searched ixf crankset and it came up
Ali Express, hundreds of them, just browse the best pricing sellers offering. Some can go up to exorbitant pricing if you're not careful.
I did the same thing to a Trek Marlin 5 and the weight savings alone makes it worth it.
You should weigh that stuff in the bin and just see how much that stuff alone weighs.
I now have a 1X, tubeless and an air fork and now my bike feels lighter than my road bike lol...
Jay Ay I did change the wheelset, I wanted a wider rim. And I bought a whole new drivetrain, it came as a pull from someone else’s upgrade.
You had better check your info... the 2020 Marlin 5 comes with a cassette, I think, but haven’t checked all bikes, that Trek has pretty much dropped the freewheel setup all together. I really don’t care about what you think “I wasted” MY money on, at the time I couldn’t afford “more” bike, so I upgraded this one and now have what “I” want. Spend YOUR money the way YOU want, and don’t try to tell others how to spend THEIR money.
Jay Ay
So I have old Diamondback Sorrento that came with a 3x7 like your Marlin 5 and I replaced the stock Shimano 14-28 freewheel with the $34 Shimano 14-34, then replaced the heavy triple crank with a cheap CDH 32t single crank from Amazon. The chain line is spot in line with the middle of the freewheel and now the bike is nearly 2 pounds lighter and shifts perfectly. It may not be for everyone but it will handle any blue trail in my area.
Jay Ay u have no advice. Only criticism. There was no way he was going to thank you for insulting him. Could have come off way different
@@sonicnendez I blocked his comments, I don't have the time or the desire to listen to crap from people that think there way is the way something should have been done and there is no other way to do it.
Thank You for seeing right through the his BS.
LoL why is this dude so mad 😁, Upgrade your bike if you want too , I dont know why people are always complaining about us spending our money on things that we love, yolo
Just sharing, that Jiankun crankset looks the same as my LTWOO 712 crankset, my Ltwoo cranks came with Jiankun precload cap too.
Ltwoo is a new player in the market yet they have a progressive R&D and they have shown improvements in the latest products they introduved. I can say that those cranks are worth 50 bucks.
Great video,, very well made and professional..
One of the first things I did with my new bike was remove the front derailleur and replaced the chain-rings with a single narrow-wide.
GOD I was actually thinking of doing the same to my gravel bike. You think it’ll shift just fine if I do it?
And how many teeth chain Ring did you go with?
Mine shifts awesome just make sure to remove maybe 3 chain links
@@cdesrae1212 It shifts perfectly. You might need a spacer for the chainring to keep your chainline aligned but that's about it. The number of teeth depends on what kind of riding you're doing and what cassette you have. More teeth will give you more top end for speed and less teeth will give you more bottom end for climbing so compare it to your current chainring and see if you need more or less or the same.
Did you have to use a chin guide?
remove that plastic cassette protector for +10 astig look
I'll do that when I get my SLX 1x11 :)
Upgraded with IXF Cranks 2 months ago. Just about to do the same but Upgrading from 1x8 to 1 x11XT M8000, had to buy a 11 speed rear mtb wheel 27.5 with a shimano Compatible freehub 11 speed on Amazon, bought an XT sgs 11speed rear derailleur , a XT REAR 11 speed shifter, A Sun Race 11-46T cassette, Clark’s M2 brake set,& a KMC X11 chain .$300ish all included in my opinion well worth the upgrade. Either it’s that or save up for a year & a half to get the money for a half decent new mountain bike, go figure.😁🏴 To Combat the Corona Virus induced Cabin Fever🦠.

You kids are crazy saying the front derailer looks off. I thought XTR or your choice of premium components were great in the early 2000-2010 but now the single chainring up front is everywhere but I kept my hard tail setup I’ve had for 20 years with some upgrades and I still prefer it to the new hardtails that aren’t as light and made much for downhill racing/enduro compared to the way xc races used to be
This video is perfect for me and my bike , I hate the front derailleur , can’t wait to upgrade too
That’s exactly what I did with my old Rocky Mountain hard tail. I mean EXACTLY.... but one thing I. Did different is I left the front derailleur on and it’s now a “CHAIN-GUIDE” 🤣🤣🤣 I’ll probably take it off soon
Chris Willis i would take it off front derailleurs look ugly
Victoria the green cheek conure your 💯 % correct...l it isn’t doing anything for me besides looking like clutter
lf you can remove chainrings from cranks than you can do a singlespeed on your existing cranks. Just get narrow wide chainring!!!
He went from garbage to integrated. Why not?
Usually on those 3 gear cranks the size of the chain ring is different, wont fit a narrow wide chain ring or any aftermarket chainring
I just got done putting an action crank set on (unlike the ixf it just dropped onto the existing square taper.) I like your video especially since 'oh hey maybe I can swap the brake levers out since i dislike mismatched levers and want to upgrade to something that is a brake shifter combo setup at some point in the future.'
Also put the factory 1x crank (44t) on an old junker bike I plan on yardsaling.
Did the same thing except just upgraded my entire bike, so worth it bro!
never mind i heard what you said just then, you shortened the chain to gain some tension
You did pretty good I'm thinking about doing it on my bike. I have a trek marlin 5 2020 brand new .great job👍

About 3 years ago i have also changed my MTB 3x9 to 1x9. First just chinese crankset the same like you with Deore M592 and 40t casette. I bought Chinese Goldix crankset but arm broken after few thousands km, it was just too light, thin alloy. Then i have read good reviews about IXF chinese crankset and bought it, using it till now, IXF looks thick and strong so it seems to be fine. Another step I did recently, changed derailleur to Ltwoo T5 with clutch for 11-42t casette, using it 2 months and it works fine, clutch make chain really quiet. I just prefer much more 1x drivetrain. Maybe if i lived in area with big mountains then I would like to have 2x or 3x for really light gear for climbing but in place where i live close to the center of Poland there are just small hills and i feel fine even with casette 11-40t and 32t front, used for some time 11-36t and it was also fine, just need to stand up and push harder on steeper climbs but anyway simplicity of 1x is much better than downside with climbing gears.
I would recommend you getting a chain guide so the chain does not slip off at the top when you are doing trail riding
with a narrow wide chainring you don't need a chain guide!
@@leonline3424 what's considered narrow wide
can you provide a link to the parts you purchased?
I have a bike build I just started and it's inspired by the Filipino community in the Philippines (obviously, haha!). They didn't invent this idea but they're huge on using MTB frames and changing the forks to rigid forks. It's their version of the gravel bike and some look amazing that it inspired my build here in California. Gravel is huge right now and I hope it picks up. I also have a Specialized Pitch frame I am starting from scratch. The parts I ordered via Amazon should be here in a couple of weeks and I'm thinking of doing what you did here.
Nice.. 👍👍 Good to see u pedaling erp..
Internal cable routing... and Tourney rear derailleur? Nice upgrade though 🤙

What tooth chainring upfront?
I was thinking of doing the same thing to my 8 spd Scott aspect
looks like a 30t but maybe he should answer you!
Mark. Thanks for the video. I just got back into riding off-road, only to discover that my once state-of-the-art Yeti 575 is now obsolete!
Everyone seems to be riding 29er or 27.5ers with 1x12 drive trains. I'm on 26s and a 3x8 crank.
I can't do much about wheelsize - is there really that much difference between 26s and 27.5s? But I'm definitely going to switch to a single chain ring and maybe get a 9 or 10 speed cassette.
On Hong Kong's trails I'm usually in the small ring anyway, so losing the other two won't matter much.
Plus, with the better chain angle, I'll be able to use the small cogs on the rear cassette when the trail flattens out or on descents.
Anyway, thanks for the inspiration.
Much appreciated.
Live long and keep riding
Awesome ! I have the same flip flops shoes love them! Cool bike!
Have you thought about going to a single speed set up or you cool with 1 X 8? I took off my front derailer too and I'm weighing the pros and cons of simplifying the drive train and go for a cleaner look by taking off the rear derailer. My knees already voted for leaving it as is but the bmx kid in me is saying go for the single speed! lol
Maybe try oval, I am thinking about it for converting my 3X8 to a 1X12
Already set to remove things, also remove the front brake if the terrain you are riding on is suitable, with the rear it is enough and the appearance of the bicycle is even cleaner and lighter
@@rafleg4630 Yeah, I made my decision 3 years ago! lol I am going 1x8 and it is a much cleaner look. I generally only ride around the neighborhood anymore and it's relatively flat.

Very helpful thanks!
Could I just take of the extra 2 cassettes in the front leaving me with a 1x9? But I’m not sure if I should do it, it’s basically just the same as leaving it on 1 front gear and only shifting the rear gears
the gear ratio corresponds to chain length, you will experience chain slack very often by doing that
one1 so I would just have to put a smaller chain?
@@vallejodroning9578 yeah it will work. But there are various reasons to change to single chainring, like to save some weight, simpler look, or stiffer pedaling by changing to two pieces crankset from square tapered one
one1 I’ll probably convert once I get the leg power, Is 1x9 enough?
@@vallejodroning9578 it depends on how you will ride and if your place mostly climbing tracks/incline road, I think it would be enough

What do you mean?
@@TokinWhiteKid the front gear it's not mounted in the wrong side?
Oh you mean the chainring. I'm not sure if it has to go on either side in particular but on the backside of it would seem to put the chain more in line with the center of your cassette.
@@TokinWhiteKid yes.. that's my point.n the chain line it would be more centered between cassette and crank gear.. :-)
Nice job on DIY upgrade. I suggest you replace the cogs, too, one with 11-42 teeth on it to accomodate uphill riding. Thank you for this, I enjoyed watching it. Inspired me more to gather bike tools and do DIY bike thing.😊😊😊
Agreed - need to change the cassete, or else your low is not low enough and the high is not high enough
Love this bike, have done tons of upgrades, really only thing left is the frame, the drivetrain (specifically the entry shimano shifters) are hot garbage though. This and forks make this a whole different beast.
I was just thinking of converting from 1/8 to a 3/8 lol
On 1x setup, you can average 20-23km/h. but on a 3x setup, you can average more than 30 depending on your pacing. But if you're more on mountain rides, 1x is more than enough. 🤗
