crank length
In the previous post, I scrub, the SRM was repaired with SRM (* g *). This is only partially correct. Among other things, the cranks were swapped from 172.5 mm to 170 mm.
In the summer, my bike path was due to two working rim brakes finally roadworthy. Already the very first climb was like coming home one. The 170 cranks had convinced me instantly. So I asked SRM to fit shorter cranks. In the meantime, I went with Ultegra 170ern on the road bike and there's was an instant home feeling. The force appears to steep climbs, where you might think, crank length and thus the lever arm would have an impact, not reduced. On the contrary, with the shorter cranks it runs just as well as the passage seems smooth. And in Sprint's already seems to be an issue, the world's best track sprinters usually go 165er.
Frank Day is pretty controversial and decoupled from each other Power cranks I'm not convinced. The following video of Frank creates this belief on the other hand already:
are up some 25 years ago almost anything other than 170 specialists only run. I can only guess, of trying times shorter cranks. Apart from the fact that they probably "faster" are the shorter cranks will also cause less joint problems.
The adjustment to 145 mm may be a reason for me Power cranks try, even if I would drive it but only coupled with cranks. ;-)
