I'm swapping my downhill frame for something lower and slacker (been on Giants every year for a long time). My 2011 Specialized Demo is on it's way and I'll just put all my current kit on it. I always have preferred 170mm cranks as I'm 6'3 and find 165mm piddly and hard to generate power. I'm a bit worried with the extremely low BB that I'm going to have trouble running these. The 2010 I rode felt great but I can definately tell the difference in crank length.
Forget it and smash 170mm to bits?
Swap for 165mm cranks and get used to them?
