Crank length

Any of you think there is much difference between 170 and 175mm cranks ?
apart from the obvious more leverage so the gears feel harder...more clearance...having to raise the saddle 5mm...any opinions ?

are you two running extra soft compound tyres or low pressures ?
Just amazed we didnt pick up any thorns :eek:

It's those mini wheels you run, our mega tractor tyres suck everything up!

I had a 170mm crank and it felt hard work compared to a 175mm...
 
Naagh it's because our little wheels are having to turn so fast that centrifugal force ejects those nasty thorns before they can do their worst.
