    And what’s your basic set-up

    ie 29er frame, or dedicated B+

    Cheers

    Me. Custom Pact frame. I’d have chosen 165s but they’re not available

    Why 165?

    I’ve got wee legs and found they worked really well on my 29er.

    Edit: nothing to do with BB height if that’s what you’re thinking, especially as I specified a slightly taller BB than “fashionable” anyway.

    Is that on some boost BB axle or 100mm craziness ?
    Surely they still make XTs or Saints in 165 ?

    And the reason you’re going for shorter is pedal strikes?

    I’ve got 170’s on a B plus specific Kingdom Vendetta. Quite a low BB, so shorter cranks to reduce pedal strikes. Only been out a few times, and loving it !!
