Title: 24" Haro crank length?
Post by: mivvi on November 22, 2006, 01:48 PM

Hi All, I am building a 24" cruiser Haro mid school bike. Does anyone know what length cranks I would need? I am yet to fit wheels so its making things a bit difficult. Any ideas?

Someone on here was selling a set of Profile 160mm see. What would they be for then? That's quite a difference in length.  :-\

I generally try and use around 160mm crank arms on my pit bike builds. They're used on mini's too.
