Chris Balser: Your Cranks are Most Likely Too Long - Part B - Ep178
In the continuation of my discussion on crank length with Chris Balser, we talk about factors that may drive a fitter to recommend shorter cranks, pros and cons of shorter cranks, and of course wander off into related topics.
I am sure anyone who is considering crank length as a possible limiting factor in their cycling will benefit from this conversation.
Disclaimer: I made an attempt to keep the language less anatomical as this can be challenging for some listeners but it gets a bit technical here and there.
