I've just grabbed my set of 155mm cranks for my DH bike and I was wondering if anyone else runs short cranks or why you think it's a bad idea.
From what I can see it's pretty much all positives, more ground clearance when pedalling, stiffer cranks(probably)and less weight. However running shorter cranks will raise your COG slightly and you may have to run a cassette with a slightly larger 1st gear because of the reduction in leverage.
Any opinions?
