Title: 175 mm or 180 mm Cranks?
Post by: laidback on January 06, 2014, 06:51 PM

Evening all,

Me again :LolLolLolLol:

Another dumb question...What do people prefer: 175 or 180 cranks?  The reason i ask is that i'm looking for at some Redline Flights and can't decide what to go for.  My Master originally had 180's on it.

What do people prefer, and do you really notice any difference?

Are you going to ride it or just look at it.?
How tall are you,? If your over 6 foot go for 180's.

It's a rider/looker ;D. Probably wont get a great deal of use as i have a road bike and my FST to entertain me too. 

I'm a bit taller than Spen at 5'8''.   I never paid attention to crank lengths when i was a Yoot... ::)
