• Hi all,

    I'm playing with my bike fit and would like to try 170mm cranks vs the 175mm I have now.

    I already have chain rings so I don't mind just the arms. In the Ultegra dark grey only please, not the light silver colour.

    Alternatively I could be interested in 105 R7000 but with rings please.

    Located Isleworth, TW7.

    Thanks, Stu

  • I got a R7000 crankset but with 172.5 .you will Definitely feel a diffrence from 175.arm i'm in kingston.

  • Do you need a 105 R7000 FD i got one

  • Are you a mind reader? I stripped the threads on the cable clamp bolt last night.

  • Love these frames. How do you find it??

    If you’re going to go to the hassle of switching crank length you may as well go at least 5mm shorter to notice any difference.

    Went for a bike fit the other day, I’m on 170 which the guy said was totally fine but on the jig we went down to 160mm and that would have been preferable. I’m 5’10.

  • 160 ? forever a skidder

  • Yep, 160 bro. skidz4lyfe.

    It did feel good but to be fair that was only to optimise my tuck position. If they weren’t so hard to find I’d make the switch. He was way taller than me and rides 155. Like handlebars, stock crank lengths are too big for most people. You should see my new handlebar setup…

    Sorry for thread derail OP.

  • No, worries at all. I'm just starting my bike fit journey, so it's great to hear any advice. . I'm preempting changes before a proper fit (I know I shouldn't!), I'm long torso with average oto shorter legs.

    I had the previous generation Aithein disc (maybe for sale soon) and that was great, but I couldn't resist the purple. Plus 12mm axles to match other wheels-sets and the RTD.

  • Yeah the purple is great, I’d have done the same. The equivalent raw one was great too. Heard good things about these.

    What’s the max tyre clearance; 28mm??
