Tested: Do Short Cranks Work For Tall Riders?
I’m 6’2” and have been running Canfield 155 cranks for a while now, on two bike and just ordered another set for a third. Knee and hip issue went away which was the main driver for trying, plus the add clearance is a game changer. I rode the bike with 175 cranks today and my knee hurts again, and I was pedal striking all over the place… No drawbacks from down sizing what I can tell either. As for the chain ring, one bike has a 32 oval and feels really good, and the other has a 28 ovals and often feels way too fast, and I’ll typically be in 3rd for more climbs where I’d be on the granny on the other bike… I’d stick with the ring size you are used to and only change it if you notice a difference (which I doubt).
