I used to have cranks that I could crankflip and they were just good and not stiff but ever since I got my new sprocket (that is 3teeth bigger than my old sprocket) and BB they hav been really stiff and hard to crankflip. Is cause I put the bb in wrong? Is it my driver or rear hub? Or is it cause of my bigger sprocket and the chain being tighter. Plz help

did you remember to put the correct sized internal spacer in the BB? if not, that's it.

Maybe you should grease the sprocket chain and that.

If youre chain is too tight, obviously. If you have atleast 1/5" of wiggle room then thats not the problem. Your internal spacer is either missing or is too short.
