DRIVETRAIN Posted October 12, 2006 Author Posted October 12, 2006 Got an email from Andrew McClean...reckons if the measurement I have is correct the 172.5 will be ideal ..... guess when I have it on I'd know then only. "DT"
attiec Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 172.5 is "standard" for 99% bikes you see on shopfloor. Anything else is normally out of ordinary. Longer cracks work well for climbers or weaker guys that need the extra levarage. Track bikes normally shorter cranks because the guys have enough power and need the speed that the shorter cranks would allow them to spin at. (Also helps not to touch the banking ;-) I would not worry too much about fit unless you really feel uncomfortable.
