Hi everyone, I am considering switching my crank arms. My existing arms are 173; I’m thinking about going to 178. Here are the existing specs:
Bike: Appaloosa 58cm with 700c wheels PBH: 90.5 I’m 6’ tall and I have long legs. Here are my questions: 1: Will 178 arms work on my bike, or will I not have enough ground clearance? 2: Why was the bike originally built with 173 arms? Is it a standard/average size, better ground clearance, better fit for the average user, toe-hitting-the-front-wheel, or another reason? 3: Is the 173 v. 178 difference so minimal that I won’t notice it? As always, your experience, wisdom, advice, and opinions are appreciated. Thanks, everyone. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
