Just curious, do any of you folks subscribe to Kirby Palm's crank length formula: http://www.nettally.com/palmk/crankset.html
Makes intuitive sense to me, but with my shortish 83PBH I should be using a 179mm crank! My first real bike had a 175mm crank (Fisher monster cross) and I have stuck with that length because it is the closest in length among the commonly available sizes. In a way I guess I am splitting the difference between the conventional wisdom and Kirby Palm's radical formula. Seems to work for me, but haven't tried anything else!
