The UV rays kill the chroming on the vinyl. I do decals/stickers on the side so if you need any let me know. I don't use the chrome vinyl for that reason as it doesn't last long. I have had really good results with the silver I use. On my truck it has been going strong for 5 years now.

My crankset is a Tracer Nacre Single Speed, 32T, Arm lenth 170mm, Spindle Square Taper. I only changed out the crank arms, the axle is the standard one also on the BEAST .
My stem is a Vintage Stem, its an ACS Sling Shot Double Clamp Stem, it is a 1" inch, so i had to put a sleeve adapter into the forks for it to work, adaptor is 1 1/8 to 1"inch .
My pedals are VP 565 Platform Alloy (MTB or BMX) size is 9/16, thats the standard size that come on our BEASTs .
Hope this info Helps, hit me up with any more ???s .......Latr Gatr & BEAST OUT !!!

Thanks alot. I want to switch out the cranks, and wasn't sure about size.

I'm going to be drilling, and painting rims soon. What kind of paint did you use on the white beast, and did you clear coat them. Thanks

i used Rust-Oleum Engine Paint, Enamel, from a spray can, i scuffed up the rims with a brillo pad & then washed up with dish soap & rinsed & then painted them with 3 light coats, then 3 semi heavy coats & thats it.

Thanks, for the help.

Last week I took the BEAST to the bike shop to replace the original sprocket and chain
this week I changed out the original stem with a origin8 stem, I also changed the seat, seat post and pedals with origin8 parts as well as the handlebars and grips.
