Clarky Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 From my recollection i think that the longer crank arms are made for the taller person, yet i may be wrong, i think it depends on if youare small youwould go for 160 but to be honest 5 mm aint much diference, maybe someone on hear can answerit better than me but i think 160 or 165will be good for a mod i run 170 on stock.Clarky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deonn h Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 I run 170echo on my zoo.Personally I like them alot better than my 158 monty cranks what I used to run.So i would get the 165mm ones .Longer cranks make it easier to get on the back wheel and better balance.

mini Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 I use 170mm tensile urban legands. They are really good and give me lots of leverage.From Stuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt rushton Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 Longer cranks are good for balance on the back wheel.But if you get shorter cranks you can gap further.Hoped this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But id say go for the 165mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_chisholm Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 (edited) Hey, i personaly run long echo 05 cranks and i find them a lot better than my short dabomb cranks. It is up to you in the end but i wasn't sure what ones to get so i just went for the longs ones and i am glad i did.Go for some long cranks mate.cheersjaf Edited March 5, 2006 by mr_chisholm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poopipe Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 my theory is that long cranks give you more leverage so they're better for longer bikes.I'm finding 160s a bit short on my t-poo, If you've got the long xtp you'll probably want the longer cranks - if you've got the stumpy one then 160s will probably be fine.I'd just run whatever you've got at the moment and decide based on what they feel like - no point spending money till you need to is there..
