> Will there be any advantages in using a short arm crankset?
I went to:
http://www.cranklength.info/cranks.htm
Then "Crank length -- The debate" choice.
And did some reading. Very fascinating. this guy has done a lot of work on this very informational
site. In one place he sums up his opinions in a chart he has constructed (search for the string
"Here's a visual representation of my crank-length scheme:"). Using this chart, as well as the
others shown that attempt to correlate leg size and geometry to crank length, I find that I should
be using a 150-155mm crank arms. Note that I switched from 170mm to 155mm and found a very favorable
result in efficiency and comfort.
This may be an interesting site for many of us to explore.
Other posts said "This topic has been thoroughly discussed". I don't agree with that. Yes, we had
shared experiences and ignorance, but there remains much to be explained/wondered at. This site
delves deeply where we have previously skimmed.
