140 vs 145 vs 160mm cranks for MUni
I'd really like a set of splined 150mm cranks for my 24" MUni. I reckon this is the perfect length for a 24" muni - fast enough for cross country riding but long enough for control on stunts and drops. At the moment the DM ATU crankset seems the only option, and an expensive one. It appears that Profile doesn't make 150mm cranks, leaving me with shorter and longer choices. There are 145mm Profiles and 140mm Onzas and KHs which would be too short, I reckon. On the longer side there are 160mm Profiles and 165mm Onzas. I plan on riding stunts and doing reasonable sized drops so I don't think 145s or 140s would afford enough leverage/control to land these easily. On the other hand 160s or 165s would, but they'd be painfully slow for general trail riding. I guess what I'd like to know is does anyone ride fairly hardcore offroad including drops and structures on a 24x3" with 145mm Profile cranks? Is this length OK for such riding? --Tony -- TonyMelton - Up, up and awaaaay!
