Has anyone purchased the wide crank and sprocket set from Sportsman Flyer? Is the quality far superior to the others on the market? Examples: Is the shaft a more harder steel making for no stripped threads? Anybody have any failures? Do the locking pins hold tight without gouging its mating surfaces? I want to purchase it because I like the fact it has the small sprocket which I need as well as the short crank arms. I need the clearance space. They are expensive so Id like some feedback before I spend the money. Cheers and thanks .

I have purchased at least 8 of these setups and never had an issue, the quality is top notch. I am sure other members will chime with the same response.
 
First, Thanks for sharing the information. I just ordered my set from Sportsman Flyer today.

Do you guys know if the sprocket will shift/adjust/slide over to the right roughly a half inch or a little less to line up with my fat bike wheels? My build is for a fat bike frame I am fabricating myself. Im using a 3.5 inch rim with the wider hubs. So this means for my front sprocket to line up with the rear, the front sprocket needs to shift over to the right a tad bit. I believe if the Sportsman setup will shift a half inch to the right from the regular beach cruiser measurement, I will be fine. Im just a little worried as Sportsman does not accept returns. Cheers and thanks again.
 
I guess if the keyway ends too short for my use, I can always put the shaft on my mill and extend the keyway to the correct legnth. I dont think I will have to but if all else fails, I can.
 
Thanks everyone for the product support! The pedal side sprocket is adjustable for chain alignment. A 1/2" out from frame centerline shouldn't be a problem.
Thanks,
Pat

I received my Sportsman Flyer Wide Pedal Crankset. How come it isnt fitting my beach cruiser chain? The Sportsman Flyer website states the following, quote, "Pedal sprocket has ½” pitch and works with standard cruiser bicycle chain, 415, #41, and BMX style chains. Well? It dont fit. I got a returning email for my concern telling me to check my local bikeshop for the correct chain. I did that. None of my local bicycle shops chains fit. Please help. Thanks in advance. Cheers.

Im fabricating my own frame and design. I trying to run the main crank and sprocket out to two jackshafts-then out to the rear sprocket cog. Its mainly for breaking and slow pedal riding like a moped in a sense. And mainly for legal purposes as well.
