I need serious advice please! i hate the fact that everytime i want to wear my hair down it frizzes right up, i spend all that money and then it gets messed up
The crank arm is a press fit. That is why you need a crank puller to remove it. Cranks are pressed tight onto the tapered square spindle. The square spindle is made with a slight upward sloping taper. The crank square fitting also has a slight taper (Figure 10). The crank bolt or nut acts as the pressing tool and forces the arm up the slope of the spindle. The bolt or nut must be tight enough to keep from loosening, but not so tight that the spindle splits and damages crank. If possible, use a torque wrench. I wouldn't bother changing the bottom bracket until you have a problem with it.
You don't need skirt and tights or a hat. Hats are actually quite dangerous; they can impair your vision or slip off your head and become a trip hazard. Figure skates, a good quality pair should be at the VERY LEAST $100, more like $150. Gloves are really easy, you can get them for like $5, our rink sells them at competitions for $2.50. Costs vary by area, but I can tell you it costs me around $400 a month to figure skate. That's just in lessons, ice time and my weekly off-ice class. That number doesn't include competition entry fees and so on. I take one 30-minute private lesson on ice per week and attend one 60-minute group off-ice class per week and practice three or four times a week. EDIT: Just to add to something Starlight's GREAT answer had: yes, it is true little kids and wannabes are usually the only ones in skirts or practice dresses. There are some exceptions. At my rink in summer, it is often very warm inside (poorly insulated). When it's 40 degrees outside and 25 inside a lot of the higher-level skaters also wear skirts and tights or shorts and tights.
