'primato advanced track' cranks are designed for track riding. 172 is fine for the track, as is 180mm. The height of your BB is more important for determining what level of banking its safe to ride on. You should ride whatever fits your body and consider a new frame if necessary, it woul dbe worth it in the long run.

This something that has interested me for a while ( sorry to hijack this thread BTW but ).... **What would be a reasonable BB height ( floor to BB ) for riding streets with 170mm crank length.
**
I currently run 165s but am thinking about dashing some 170s on for that little bit of extra torque....

My current Frame is a Dolan Pre Cursa... Before I bought it I looked high and low for info on this and found nothing. No one knew what the distance was from floor to BB but obviously now I own one I can measure it.

I just dont want to be purchasing longer cranks only to find that I strike the pedal at every corner!

Any help would be appreciated.
