Josh PWND Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 are 170mm cranks any good for mods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1337 Trials Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 They work but I would recomend 160mm. They may hit the floor when your getting around and if you lean in abit to much ~beav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 i know people that use 170s on mods and they seem to work fine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 (edited) 170mm if you're weak or still in the TGS era, 160mm if you've got an explosive style, that's the way I see it. Personally I far prefer 160's to 170's, currently running short cranks on my stock and they're so much better than long ones. There's more to the choice than how they interfere with your cornering abilities at high speeds Edited February 3, 2008 by Inur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve@banbury-trials Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 they will work,you'll get extra leverage with these longer cranks and this may make the gear ratio feel lighter.steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trials Punk Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Its all down to your riding style really. Also how tall you are and what kind of build.Smaller cranks mean that you can perform rotations quicker (but so can gear ratios).Longer cranks mean more leverage (torque) so you may be able to put more power into things.BB's on most trials bikes seem to be quite high now, I can't see hitting the floor being a big problem unless you like to pretend your a speedway rider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
