If you ride a road bike chances are its 172.5 crank. I rhink this would translate the best for first fixed. Tis what I run at least. (size 9)
Ordinata-
I rode BMX throughout the mid-late 90s, and have barely ridden since. Although confident I can still stay upright, I'm coming to it fairly fresh.
I had 180s on my BMX, but didn't use the saddle beyond something to clamp my knees around.
Im preparing to adapt to a new discipline; just want to make sure I do so with as little sliding out as possible.

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.
