That allows you to raise the set ~ 2". Run 90+ RPM, as high as 115 to 120.

With shorter cranks you raise the seat a equal amount to the difference in the crank length so the knee angle will be considerably less. BMX crank sets can be relatively in expensive<br /> ukiant55@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12736352142417312359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8506512395939639693.post-43385119771958918802016-05-02T11:53:09.286-07:002016-05-02T11:53:09.286-07:00Also, noticed from running hills and stairs, the g...Also, noticed from running hills and stairs, the glute machine isn't the end all in power / speed development. Running hills seems to get different areas... the upper-mid glute, where the glute machine gets the lower.

Yours should be 165 or under. For our size 160 or 155 is appropriate. 165 should be the absolute longest. Do you have a bike computer? Need to keep RPM between 90 and 105. If you don't want to buy a bike computer strap a watch to your handlebar and count revolutions from time to time until you get the feel for it. Crank length and RPM matter greatly for knee health. ukiant55@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12736352142417312359noreply@blogger.com
