I have this redline rival with a 1 piece crank set up. I hate it. How can I get rid of it and put in a 3 piece crank set? If you have the same bike or had the same issue please let me know what cranks you bought to replace the one piece. Thank you in advance.

Since it’s already got a 1pc crank, I’m going to guess it has an American bottom bracket. Hammer out the existing bearing cups for the cage bearings with a piece of wood and a hammer. Your new sealed bearings will come with new cups to fit them into an American bb shell. Use a bearing press. Just pick the cranks you want, and buy the correct size bb bearings for the spindle. You’ll also need to change the sprocket for this conversion, and while you’re at it replace the chain. Pretty easy to do, but takes some time and $$$
