  • I'm sourcing parts for my first fixed build, and have my eyes on a Mash Parallax. As a longer-legged fellow, my heart says I might find a longer crank a little comfier.. What are people's experiences of using anything over 165mm?

    Pedal strike is my main concern, but overlap too could be an issue. I have size 11 feet, and am looking at the XL frame.

  • Crank length has got SFA to do with leg length despite all the pseudo-science, quackery and faux-formulae you'll find on the internet.

    Gearing aside, practical considerations such as pedal strike are a valid reason to chose one length over another.
