hugh_b Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Hey guys, just wanted to know what length cranks you are all running on your stocks, i'm running 175mm tensiles with an 18:15 gearing. I seem to clip them alot when doing hooks though and niggely things. It's probably just me not having the crank high enough to clear it but i would like to know if i could get away with running shorter cranks with that gearing. cheers-hugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 175 burns with 16:14 gearing, i find the same, you get more power with shorter cranks too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugh_b Posted June 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 175 burns with 16:14 gearing, i find the same, you get more power with shorter cranks tooyeah i have been looking at changing gearing to 16:14, and maybe having 170mm cranks. This will give me a little more clearance all round and save a bit of weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endohopper Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 (edited) Conventional 175s ( absurdly heavy Race Face ) running 22 - 17 . I'm also rather curious how much weight can be saved by running shorter cranks , I'll check Tarty's site to see .

Waddy Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 i run 175 try all cranks with 18:16 gear ratio, i dont really seem to catch my cranks on hooks, but i think the higher bb also helps this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 175........18:15........ How do you work that out that if you have shorter cranks you get more power. Longer cranks = more leverage = more force. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longer cranks = more leverage = more force.i think ogre worked it out, if you have more leverage the gearing will be easier so you wont get the same power, it was something like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoNnY__Mc Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 (edited) I run 170 with 18:15 gearing and I found when I tried to learn hooks the other week I clipped my pedal loads but I have 10+ bb so this could be why...

Krisboats Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 170mm burns, 16:13 ratio.I think 16:14 is far too easy to be honest. My gapping drops by about a foot if i run that gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
