Default Cocker 36 " crank size


Lets see.

His name is Peter (nickname for phallus)
He asks about a cocker (phallic) crank (phallic) size.

...then asks the "girls" what he can "get" with a "good crank size"

...then he mentions how 114" (4.5") is small. (which it kinda is).


I'm still working on my interpretation of "crash by downhill this
morning"

*I think they were a little confused by your spelling of coker (cocker
sounds to similar to cock which is rather rude english slang) and the
fact that you addressed your message to girls.

114mm is a very short length for coker cranks. For long distance road
riding I use 125mm cranks on my coker. I know Ken Looi uses shorter
than that some times, but only if the terrain warrants it. He also
has the advantage of a lighter than usual coker wheel because of all
the upgrades to his coker.

According to Ken converting your coker wheel to a tubeless system,
replacing the spokes with lighter weight ones and using an airfoil rim
allows you to end up with a lighter wheel that will handle shorter
cranks better.

eg if you are happy with 125mm cranks and then make the above changers
to your coker, you will probably be able to use 114mm cranks.

For a relatively new unicyclist I would recommend 150mm cranks until
you get used to riding a big wheel.

For an experienced rider who has ridden a 28" wheel I would recommend
going straight to 125mm cranks. *
