What length/brand of cranks are you running on your Transition TR450? Been riding it hard for five days now, and I am noticing that with 175's I am getting a lot of pedal strikes.
What length cranks on a TR450?
- Thread starter DirtMcGirk
- Start date
I know that this may seem far-fetched, but you might want to try normal-length DH cranks.
170 Saints on mine, havent had issues, although I run like 10% sag
I run 165mm on my Med TR450 with setting in the middle. I feel this best suits me at 5'11". I have yet to hit my cranks on the ground or rocks.
Good luck,

175's? Seriously?
No, click less.
165 mm Saints in the middle geo setting. Still have pedal strikes every so often.
165mm saints, i've run them in the middle setting and the low setting. Middle setting you usually don't have to worry about pedal strikes too much. Low setting you have to be cautious for sure especially when trying to get some pedals strokes in in the gnarly stuff.
I have a TR250 set as low as it will go and running 170's with slim pedals. 165's always felt a bit funny you just need to be aware of where your pedals are.
typical woman... should i dye my guide? should i cover my downtube? what tires? what tire pressure? 9 or 10 speed? what crank length?
- Green MRP G2Mini
- 3M Moto Clear Protective Tape, maybe Pink
- Continentals all the way!!
- 9 speed, do you really need 10 speed for DH?
- 165mm all the way. Well, if you are a hucker, maybe 175s.
Hope this helps you out!!

Since 165 is the standard isn't it weird that no one (besides kid's BMX) makes 160 cranks? I'd love to try some.
