Cant believe Im even asking this, but apparently, some of you need to be reminded of the fundamentals. What is the ideal crank arm length for a Fuji Norcom Straight 2.3? I mean, come on, its not like this is rocket science. Youd think that anyone claiming to be a road cycling enthusiast would have a basic understanding of biomechanics and ergonomics.
Newsflash: a 170mm crank arm is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Ive seen more than a few self-proclaimed experts recommend this length without considering the riders inseam, leg length, or pedaling style. Its like theyre regurgitating information from some outdated blog post without putting in the effort to understand the underlying principles.
For those who actually know what theyre talking about, Id love to hear your thoughts on the optimal crank arm length for the Fuji Norcom Straight 2.3. Is it 165mm, 167.5mm, or maybe even 172.5mm? And please, spare me the it depends on personal preference nonsense. Im looking for evidence-based answers, not armchair quarterbacking.
And to all the wannabe gurus out there, let me save you the embarrassment: if you dont know the difference between a 12% and 15% slope on a crank arm, or cant explain how it affects the riders Q-factor, then maybe you shouldnt be offering advice on crank arm length. Just saying.
