Tim/Trialsin USA Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Pretty self explanitory. For the most part everyone here in North America uses 170s. Have been told most of UK/Europe has gone 175......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txt2007 Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 why's it a multichoice poll?i clicked 170 btw never ran anything but the stock cranks buti can't see me feeling much difference if i did run 175 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilly Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 I always found that when doing slightly more high speed pedal gaps etc that 175mm cranks were too long and i couldn't pedal comfortably, so i stick with 170. I guess i lose on some leverage, but its a lot more comfortable when i'm not doing static tricks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waddy Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 175's with 18-15 gear ratio = win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe' Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 erm 165 was the fashion a few years ago? in the uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_Fel Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 I've always gone for 175's myself. I think a lot of people are running 170's now because thats the only size the denganator does? I might be wrong though.Out of interest are we going to maybe be seeing a new pair of cranks hitting the streets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonMack Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 (edited) 175'son my mod :$Before that I had 170 Tensiles I think, but when i had my stock I always had 175's, just because at the time 'burns were the only trials specific crank and my lbs just got them in 175 cos it's kinda the given size uk riders tend to use as far as I can tell.

basher Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 (edited) I run 170s and there fine for me. Im assumeing you thinking of bringing cranks out, if so im sure tarty could help you out alot as they will know which is more popular. Theres so many gear ratios used now a days that i wouldnt say theres a more popular lenght as different people are using different lenghts for there ratio. I supose 175 would be a safe better as most people think longer the more power so go for the longer cranks.

JonMack Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 I supose 175 would be a safe better as most people think longer the more power so go for the longer cranks.That's the exact reason I'm happy running 175's on a mod, bit more power. I know it probably doesn't make that much difference but I'm 6ft and have quite long legs so don't really fancy the spinny spinnyness of 158/160's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason222 Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 18:15 with 175's. Tried it, loved it. I'm running 18:16 with 170's now though. Would switch if I could afford to... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
