Yeah there aren't many log crossings here, the trails get a ton of traffic so they're kept clear for the most part. There are a lot of rocks though. I think the obvious thing to do is try to borrow some 165 cranks and see for myself. I'm more of a spinner anyway on the climbs.

Keep riding them and this phase will pass- you learn to weight the outside of your heel when you're falling. In some directions they're faster to get...

I can agree that - crank length affects ground clearance - crank length affects the angles that your knees are subjected to - crank length affects the distance your foot has to travel for one rotation of the cranks - crank length affects the leverage delivered to the next lever in the drive train Whether you can detect a 2.5 mm, 5mm, or even 10 mm change is debatable, and has been debated. I don't care: I am doing fine with the cranks I...
