I'm 6'2" and ride 170s, mostly. The 175s I had gave me a nasty pedal strike
(I didn't crash, but the shock broke a hard-to-replace part of a rare Sachs
Automatic hub), so I switched back. My wife, at 5'7" prefers those 175s to
170s, so everyones happy. My mountain bike might have 175s, I'd have
That was great, thanks forme laugh

If it feels right, it is. I've always ridden 170 on road bikes. Way back
when bolted a 175 MTB crankset to a road bike for the triple rings & never
noticed a difference. My Atlantis came with 175s which I rode for a long
time but kept knocking on things off road so I swapped with a

Back in my bike shop past lifeA friend of mine was doing work on two of
his bikes at the same time at the shop. One he was keeping and the other
he was prepping to sell. About a month later he had his bike back in the
stand. He took the chain off, and the cranks rotated left leg do
I'm 6'5" tall and have always run 175's and read often about Zinn
recommending 180 190 etc. Anyway when I built my Ram I wanted the Rene
Herse Cranks at 170 for looks of course.. Anyway I can't tell the
difference.
I would imagine with my bad knee the shorter is probably easier on my knees
I totally agree with William and Garth, but as a shorter, older
person——okay, a short and mature person—I think it's helpful to say that a
really long crank arm is hard on my knees. It would be curious to know if
crank length is more of an issue for short legs rather than the longer
legged end
The proof is in the pudding...ur spinning. I'm 6'1" with PBH of 90.5. I
cannot tell the difference between 175 & 72.5, but if I ride 170 for awhile
tend to develop knee pain. I would offer that you are unlikely to
experience any "performance" benefit from changing crank length, but if
you
There are humans exactly your height riding just about every crank arm
length out there. The conventional wisdom is that longer arms are harder
to spin but give you a little more power. Smart people who don't care a
lot about optimal performance when cycling will correctly say 170mm is
fine,
To each their own Michael. There is no "formula" . I've ridden everything
from 185's to 152's. I prefer the 152 :)
