Description

Chris Balser: Your Cranks are Most Likely Too Long - Part A - Ep177


In Part A of this podcast I discuss crank length with Chris Balser. We talk about factors that may drive a fitter to recommend shorter cranks, pros and cons of shorter cranks, and of course wander off into related topics. 


I am sure anyone who is considering crank length as a possible limiting factor in their cycling will benefit from this conversation. 


Disclaimer: I made an attempt to keep the language less anatomical as this can be challenging for some listeners but it gets a bit technical here and there. 


Enjoy.
