So here is my challenge.
Currently ride a 177.5 53T crank.
A friend has an extra 175 55T crank.
I'm really wanting to get the 55T, but my A race is 5 weeks away, is that a good idea. I have ridden the 177.5 for about 2 years.
So my buddy is telling me I should be more comfortable and able to spin faster with the shorter crank is that so? Does 2.5 MM really even make a difference? How much will I need to tweak fit or can I just replace and ride as is?
For reference I'm 6'7, 220 lbs.
