Pog could probably run with one crank arm at the moment. Through the classics and Giro he has looked like he has the ability to make a decisive move whenever he chooses. Will be interesting to see how his form holds for the Tour.

That would be one of Lances smaller offenses, but I am going to add it to his tally anyway.

Shorter cranks…maybe…has that feel about it. Not much evidence, lots of opinion (including mine!). As long as people are comfortable, happy and safe (unlike the really cut down bars) it’s all good, right?

Thought this might happen! Just checked my Brompton which is 170mm so I am running a 1cm difference in pedal circle diameter (there must be a better term for this?) between bikes with no bother - but then I do set up my saddle carefully (height, fore/aft etc).

I swap between 172.5 on the road (typically the size fitted on M or 54cm frame) and 175mm / 172.5mm on the MTBs depending on age. I really don’t notice much difference TBH and typically put down more torque as well as use an higher cadence off-road where I guess you would see it more. I have a...

I have pair in reasonable condition James if you need them - but nothing like Tootyred’s!

Nowhere near as pretty I am afraid…highest elevation on my commute!

Thanks Guys - very helpful.

I need to replace some very worn XTr m900 chainrings - any advice on what to buy and where?
