I currently use 172.5mm cranks and don't have any problems - if I bought 175s would I have issues? (180cm tall on a 56cm CX frame)
Basically there seem to be more 175mm bargains about!
Very unlikley to have any issues... or even notice 🙂
If you have long legs it could arguably be a better size for you...
(178cm tall with 798mm bb to saddle height - use 175mm cranks on the road with 177.5mm on time trail bike)
172.5 on the road bike, 175 on both cross bikes, had 172.5s on previous CXs, it doesn't make any noticable difference
ta muchly - there seems to be loads of flannel about what crank length vs. angle of danglies etc / roadie mythology
I've got 172.5's on my roadie, I'm 1.80m tall.
Saying that I've got 175mm on my FS and 170 on my HT, can't say I can really notice any difference.
Please God don't ask the Shimano or Campag question, Pllllllllllllease 😆
