I have recently made the transition to shorter cranks on my TT bike to great effect. My N=1 observations are more comfort at higher efforts due to decreased hip angle, which helps massively with my breathing. I no longer feel as restricted. I have also set PRs on the run at all races since swapping, but this may well be down to consistent training and a decent taper for my last A race.
Now the off-season is nearly here, I am planning on settling the TT bike onto the trainer until next year. I will still do rides outside when weather permits on the road bike.
I went from 172.5mm to 162.5mm and still run 172.5mm on the road bike. I was wondering if anyone had any opinions on whether it would be more beneficial to swap over the road bike or keep as is. I can certainly feel the difference between the 2, but don't mind either. However, if there is a tangible benefit to going shorter on both, I am in.
Thanks
On the internet, you can be anything you want. It is a pity so many people choose to be stupid.
