Ok, so i have been redesigned my bike with the help of a whole new bike. the only real problem I have is with my crankset, I ordered the crank arms from cycloneusa (Very expensive to me). I dont want to order there Gears and freewheel adaptor because I know that I can find a cheaper solution.

As of right now, I just use a 16 tooth freewheel on my crank arm and bolt on a hacked up set of gears, as you can see from the pics. I use the freewheel gear instead of a freewheel crank adaptor (like this one http://www.cyclone-usa.com/store.php?crn=203), A. because it's too much money, and B. The last crank adaptor I used was made cheaply and I can buy a descent gear on ebay for like 15$.

So I am asking if anyone knows of a solution to getting in better shape than I am now with my freewheel crankset. They tend to bend and get wobbly from the torc of peddling and the motor. I am in need of a 40 - 44 tooth gear, and a 30 - 36 tooth gear, bolts and spacers to attach them together and a way to mount it to my freewheel.

Thanks in advance!

I don't think so, as i have routinely added at least ten images to a single post.

Freewheeling cranks seem to generally be either really cheaply made or really expensive, or both. :( There probably is some middle ground, but it might not be the cranks causing your problem, but rather the freewheels themselves supporting the chainrings. see here:

http://www.sickbikeparts.com is the place to buy a quality White Industries ENO freewheel made specifically for freewheel crank sets
they are expensive yes but the alternative cheapo jobs will no maybe about it, fail. They also have the cylone freewheel crank sets for ~25 bucks

Their sprockets are really solid. A bit too heavy but they don't flex.
They bolt straight onto the freewheel they supply but the hole is probably the same as your exsisting freewheel.
