I've read so many comments in this forum about what length crank to use
on which type of unicycle. Very informative. . . but also very
confusing!
Since I haven't officially learned how to ride yet, I have no plans on
buying another unicycle, and as far as I can tell, the 152s on my Sun
24" are just fine for me for now. But for future reference (since I'm
pretty sure I'll be interested in a Coker eventually), is there a
general rule of thumb on crank lengths? Like, "get shorter cranks for
trials, longer for distance," or, "get long cranks for more power,
shorter cranks for speed," or, "get cranks that are the same length in
mm as your height in cm," or, well, anything?
I've been a two-wheeled cyclist for many years, but never changed the
lengths of my cranks. Seeing all the comments about crank length makes
me think I should give more thought to them on *all* my wheeled
machines!
Thanks,
Rich
