Matt24. Posted October 5, 2021 Report Share Posted October 5, 2021 Hey all, I have picked up a 2nd hand Arcade to have a play alongside my Hex. The Arcade comes with 175mm cranks however historically I have always used 170mm on 24" but I was interested to know if people have used an Arcade or others 24"'s in general on 22/16 pro's / con's of 175 vs 170 and whether I should just stick with 175m Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daan Posted October 6, 2021 Report Share Posted October 6, 2021 (edited) Used to use 175 mm cranks on my 24" bike with 22/16 gearing. First used 175 on my Hex as well (22/18), switched to 170 when I needed new cranks. But only because I found them for cheap and because my feet are big, so when my foot placement is subobtimal, I sometimes hit the wheel with my toes. This gave me a tiny bit more room there. I personally notice no difference in any other respect. Your body is generally super quick to adapt to these kind of small changes. So I wouldn't sweat it, just stick with what it comes with.
