Both my Hunqapillar and Quickbeam have 175mm crank arms. Pedal strikes have been a non-issue on the roads, but I’ve had a few, slow and inconsequential, strikes on the trails. Those of you with experience (not speculation, but actual riding experience): could you please help me understand the effect of crank arm length in fixed gear riding on:
— decreased leverage of a shorter arm. Is this a real-world, material effect, or inconsequential. Put another way, if I go with 170 or 165mm crank arms, am I going to need to go with a 42t instead of 44t chainring? Or is the difference slight and inconsequential compared with increased pedal clearence?
