My physio suggested 165. Most of my height is in my torso, but I think 160 would be a bit short for me -- thanks for the offer! On Thursday, June 4, 2015 at 12:05:12 AM UTC-7, Joe Bernard wrote: How short do you want to go? I have a gorgeous 160mm Suntour Sprint crank that I don't think I'm

Its my primary bike now. If I could only have one, the Lyon would be it. Although it took me awhile to get used to its front-end geometry, now I prefer the handling. The 42mm tires are the icing on the cake. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW

Michael, Those cranks can be set up as doubles. I've done it. Takes a 107mm BB. Cecily, years ago I switched all of my 175mm Sugino XD's to 170mm's due to knee pain. I was able to swap arms on this list for all three of my bikes. Give it a shot. Scott -- You received this message

also check with outside outfitters to see if they have the crank arms you need - they repackage and ship, so the process can take a couple of weeks, but their prices can be the best on individual items. On my most recent bike, I bought crank arms, cassette and custom cogs, and chain from them.
