Mushroom Bmx

bottom bracket for mountain compatible with bmx?

OK i just started riding BMX seriously since BMX bikes are pretty expensive so i just used my mountain bike i have a pretty good mountain bike its really light its Aluxx Aluminum is that good the problem i have is that the crank arms on mountain bikes are really gay cause i am a big boy and the crank arms are aluminum so they slowly mushroom out and loosen so i really want to get a bmx spindle and crank arms are they compatible with standard, Spanish, or euro or something, and do the bmx do that too or is it just the square pressed spindles also is there disadvantages to having a mountain bike rather than a bmx i hope to slowly buy parts and get a bmx.

what you want is a square tapered crank for your mountain bike and you can do it but they are not likely interchangeable. Buying parts to build a BMX or any other bike is really expensive too! More than just saving a couple hundred and buying one already assembled and complete...why do you think they sell them already assembled in the first place. You going to buy car parts over time and build your car from scratch too- I didnt think so! BMX or mtn bike.....ride what you like there are no disadvantages of either one it just depends on what you like to do most. Mountain bikes are just as expensive if not more expensive depending on what you get and BMX bikes are expensive too but you wont be buying a top of the line either one so buy whatever you want just buy it already assembled.
