Thanks, it's incredible how useful this community is! Amazing!! Now smiling!!

Hi My kid has long cranks on his bike (175) and I'm keen to shorten to 140-145. Any suggestions whom to contact? I previously posted on my carbon cranks needing shortening and can happily say that I've crossed over to shorter alu ones (RaceFace Atlas) and am super happy! Thanks for all the comments on that thread, really appreciated the feedback. Best JL

..... a.n.a.l.o.g.u.e... How come that got ***?!

There's definitely a place in my future for an e-bike. But I'm sure I won't work nearly as hard on an e-bike, so for now my *** does just fine.

Can I use this with my reverb? I still have the old push button...

I'm happy with the 170's, but after doing some reading I'm sure 165's would suit me better. I've also submitted warranty claim, and if they honour that, i'll go for 165's. For now i'm back on my old 175's and it's incredible the number of pedal strikes i'm getting. so 165 would be perfect i reckon

Thank you, will definitely get in touch.

Thanks for all the comments, I really appreciate the quick replies. I'm on the same page, just wanted to see if any other options. I did speak to one of the carbon experts, and the advice corresponds!

Hi I have RaceFace SIXC carbon cranks, 170mm. Awesome, except that the pedal insert has come loose. (Thread not stripped.) Apparently that cannot be fixed, but any comments on that also welcome. What I was thinking is whether I can go extreme and shorten the cranks to say 162,5. This would involve cutting etc.. It would need to be done by a very seasoned carbon expert. I'm sure the right answer is "no", for various reasons, but I thought worth a shot. Thanks JL

Thanks for your great comments. Upgrading wife's groupset to XT 1x12 and she has Stans 3.30. If it wasn't for this thread, I would have had to build a complete new wheel!

Hi Great pic. Is that Bloemendal or Helderberg? Thanks JL

The UCT jumps have been upgraged. Super sick ones. Does anyone know where i can find a mellow pump track? Thanks JL

Pics attached... Next step is to make the ramp shorter... Hopefully future pics don't turn too bloody!!
