TNT1 Posted June 19, 2020 Posted June 19, 2020 Morning all Is it advisable to use a 172.5 left arm crank with a 175 right crank...got a left arm power metre. In theory could you increase the stack height between your cleats and cycling shoes by using something to make up that 2.5? Any advice would be highly appreciatedTry this guy: https://drharrysportsurgery.co.za/#contactHe can make one leg longer, or the other one shorter for you.
TNT1 Posted June 19, 2020 Posted June 19, 2020 How long can a thread go until the OP logs on againIn the old days I would have said years. This new hub, I dunno, maybe another half a page?

DieselnDust Posted June 19, 2020 Posted June 19, 2020 Disagree, the angle of the hip will be less putting strain on lower back and GluteActually there is thinking in the industry that supports what you're saying. current thinking is that the increased hip angle at the top of the stroke as a result of shorter cranks is advantageous from a leverage perspective. Many professional bike fitters and sport scientists have demonstrated that this is real and recommend shorter cranks than riders would ordinarily use.I haven't tried this yet so can't testify to whether it works for me or not. I was just looking at it from an injury perspective that if the knee travelled just a little higher over the top where most riders are not engaging muscle groups in that leg at full force then there is less likely to be an injury than if they over extend at the bottom of the stroke.
Rigardt@Scott Posted June 19, 2020 Posted June 19, 2020 Can't believe this is even being debated. Just don't.

DieselnDust Posted June 19, 2020 Posted June 19, 2020 What's Friday without a good debate???? Next week we will tackle the question of whether oxygen is actually good for you.. M. Or not.
