Toni-J Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 Hi everyone, I've been out of the trials scene for some time but want to really get back into it again. Been trying to catch up on the newestlatest and looks like a few of the top 26" guys now run shorter cranks.. I'd like to hear what those with experience who have made the change from 175mm to 170mm think? I'm assuming the gearing still 18:15? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 I haven't made that change but I've been running 160mm or shorter cranks on my stock for 9 years now. Shorter cranks give you less power but make the bike more stable when doing rolling moves. Generally speaking 175mm are not that common anymore. The standard setup is 18:15 and 170mm.
