Slowbee Posted August 16, 2012 Author Posted August 16, 2012 thats a 12 - 25, learn to count. Or remember to stop when you get to the start again. no need to be mean ! its more a case of dont count after a G&T (more like stop at the correct marker). Your assumption is correct it is a 25.
Slowbee Posted August 16, 2012 Author Posted August 16, 2012 Dude, your big chain ring on the front is a 53.... right? You say your big"cog" at the back is a 50...right? Now look closely at both, do they look almost the same size as each other? 50 tooth cassette....Pfffft... that thought did occur to me as I was ready Jaco's post. It was then I realised maths was never a good point. Kinda like english. So now we I have discovered the truth about my bike, will a longer crank arm make any difference ?

Yes your pedal will be closer to the ground at 6 o clock and closer to your thigh at 12 o clock
Slowbee Posted August 16, 2012 Author Posted August 16, 2012 And is it more a case of learning to use the correct gears to avoid the feeling of my legs spinning to fast and being being "compact"
Barend de Arend Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 So now we I have discovered the truth about my bike, will a longer crank arm make any difference ? It might, it might not. The first time I swapped between 170 and 172.5 I felt a big difference. These days every second day is on a different crank arm length, and I don't feel it anymore. I'd probably feel 160 to 180, though. What size is the MTB crankarm? It might also be pedal/cleat position if you use different shoes on the two bikes. Slowbee 1
Grebel Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 Yes your pedal will be closer to the ground at 6 o clock and closer to your thigh at 12 o clock And further away from your back wheel at 3 o'clock
SwissVan Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 And further away from your back wheel at 3 o'clock Nope

SwissVan Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 The crank arm length is stamped on the inside of the arm, usualy close to the pedal end
SwissVan Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 What watch are you wearing? Silly....Genuine Swiss
