Mikee Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 It depends on your prefference really, But i would suggest 170mm. It's what I use on my 24" bike and I do like it alot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Currently running 175mm 'burns with that ratio myself, and it feels great, though I'm considering switching up to 18:13 (well, geeeeeears) for some faster/parky stuffCrank length is overrated, I'm running them as that's what I had, but I'd be just as happy to run 170/165s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex@Flawless Bikes Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 I run 175 middle burns on my inspired, but its up to you really anything from 165 to 175 will be ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason222 Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 This is how I'd do it:175's with 18:13170's with 18:14165's with 18:15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sstein Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Whatever you feel comfertable running. The norm is 170/175. In the end it does not really make a difference as you will get used to whateer you are running. I suggest 175 as they give you the most leverage.
