I've UTFS until i'm blue in the face and popular internet search engines but cant find an answer - maybe i'm being too fussy. Here goes:
If you own more than one bike and your training and racing seriously should you have the same crank length on all of your machines?
I would have thought that having the two bikes as similar as possible would be of benefit for training but track bikes tend to have shorter cranks than the 175mm ones I have on my road bike.
I'm asking because I want the track bike i'm building to be OK on the velodrome so logic (and possibly rules) tell me i shouldn't have longer than 170 mm cranks on it.
