I am happiest with 165 too, though never tried shorter. 6' tall, more of a
masher than spinner. Use them on all bikes ss mtb, fixed road, and geared bikes
alike.

I don't know, but I do know that I suffered knee pain and went from a 172.5
length crank on the Roadeo to a 165 and it went away. I feel no difference
in efficiency or speed or anything, just happier riding. I'm 5'7" and on a
53cm Roadeo.

It appears, Garth, you know of one formula that is absolutely true.

Can anyone post the old article from the old RR or Bridgestone catalogue
that showed the step-by-step for forging cranks?

I would think that it is based on your fit on a bicycle. Thigh
flexibility, how far you sit back on the bicycle etc and where your knee is
over toe is probably going to determine the best crank length.

I was hoping to see a step-by-step illustration (I grew up watching Sesame
Street & Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood) of how cranks are forged. I've always
been fascinated by manufacturing processes and the stem sequence in the Riv
catalog baffles me. Most of it is straight-forward but there is one st

Mine is the exact opposite, my knees feel best on 170s but they feel
inefficient to me as I'm 6'7". I settled on 175s. Used to ride 180+ when
I was younger but alas my knees don't agree with the longer cranks anymore.

Is there a rule of thumb to guide crank length choice?

BQ had an article about their polisher, who I think is in the Seattle Metro
area.

Interesting. Are the dies made by a machinist there at the Taiwan forging
facility or are they spec'd out to an independent tool shop? Also, where
do they do the final machining on the cranks (drilling, taping, polishing,
etc.)?

I swapped the 170s on the Fargo for 172.5s, and I don't think I notice any
difference. But when I had 175s on an erstwhile Diamondback, with a fiddly
60" fixed gear (meant for off road) pedaling on flats was truly horrible. I
switched to 170s things were far better. Same Pro 5 Vis crank model and

Really, interesting post. I'll need more time to study it but would like
to offer one observation, that has lead me to hesitate in buying a pair of
these (besides not parting with the considerable amount of cash). I agree
that I can not tell the difference between cranks 3mm or shorter and ha
18 matches
