Just pulled the trigger on a nice pair of Campagnolo 165 cranks, will give them a go. I've been pretty much a 175/172.5 all me cycling life!

I expect most bike fitters would have me on 46cm bars and 175mm cranks

A coupe of years ago they would, but now they'd be desperate to get you on 36cm bars and 160 cranks!

We must be mugs! (Or happy to be mugged!)

The longer Cranks suit a rangier style, more climbing out of the saddle, varied terrain.

Shorter cranks suit aero, efficiency, steady power output, lower peak strain.

Thinking back I think I had 160s on my track bike when I was 'treading the boards', but thought the only use, or benefit they had was to avoid clanking the banking on the way round the track. Who knew it was a Tour de France power rangers trick!?

or we are just really happy to have such a huge choice of equipment, in lots of lengths and widths, so a bicycle can be made to fit and work with all manner of physical proportions, disabilities, and tailored to specific disciplines.
