MikeCottTrials Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 why the hell would you want them on anything, al it means is less leverage which means less power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 (edited) why the hell would you want them on anything, al it means is less leverage which means less power Because it means you can move the cranks faster as there is less distance to move them. They feel nice you like to do full rotations of your cranks quite alot, It all depends on your style of riding really, smooth and flowing = short cranks, big power moves = long cranks.One of my friends runs 165 burns on his ashton and it feels really nice, and I have 165 RaceFaces on my 24" which also feels nice.

MikeCottTrials Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 nah, they feel wrong especially for gaps i cant see any reason why they wouldnt work though so go for it if thats what you like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brettoll Posted November 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Got a set of 170mm Echo cranks anyway. Thanks for the replies though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Got 165s on my Base.I think it depends on your gear ratio as to how f**ked up they feel. Generally speaking I think you're better off with longer ones on a stock because you've got more leverage then, whereas with 165s you've got to stamp on the pedals a bit more (not a lot, but it might make a difference to you).If, however, you've got a spinny ratio and find yourself riding longish distances on your stock, then go 165s, it makes long missions easier on the legs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
