Greetings Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Nothing to worry about. Long cranks are used with long bikes mainly because they don't feel awkward and give you more power. It doesn't mean short cranks will be bad, it just means you've got space for longer ones which imo are better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
