Cycling like everything in unique for each person. Don't be afraid to play around it .... it's a bicycle after all. It's supposed to be FUN :) I changed to 152mm Sugino XD triple cranks a few years ago for example when I changed to a midfoot position over the pedal . Yes ... mid foot... against all the brules (BS rules) !!! I am 75 inches tall, size 15 feet with a 36.5" PBH. I wear Birkenstock Arizonas, which are perfect for it as they are stiff in the arch. I could even use shorter cranks but in a triple the Suginos are about the limit without having cranks chopped off for me. But 152's are fine. What's it do for me ? I use what power I do have (lol) much more efficiently than on the balls of my feet. My legs are never sore anymore even after hilly rides.... always fresh the next day. The shorter arms allow all that power and yet at a very easy to spin smaller circle. So it's like getting the leverage out of really long cranks, but with the speed and much less stress of the smaller circle of the short arms ! It's awesome !!!! Not for everyone .... but simply an example of how no one knows what's best for you ... but you . It's our choice to find it !.. or not ! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
