Polo Bikes

. I wouldn't switch to them unless you need to

do you mean to avoid pedal strike and toe overlap?
if so, then i think i'm going to roll with 170's

shorter cranks bring your pedal stroke inward in all directions, so it's higher at the bottom, and lower at the top. i would think that cranks too long would be worse for your knees since they create more range in knee flex, but any size setup wrong or that doesn't fit you will be bad. you can spin faster with shorter cranks, but they'll also be harder to skid since leverage works in both directions obviously. my thoughts are the mid-sizes are best (165 or 170) for most people

miam miam

Parcels have started arriving. I love new things.

I've got three separate shipments on the way though...

Just received spokes, front hub, headset, pedals & grips.
Already have, bars, stem, things, blah. ETC.

What i really want is the frame and forks. God damn waiting for replies to emails.

Nope.

i thought you were slimming down not adding up!

I'm an addict.

Any post this morning?....

I got an XT front disc hub converted for rear and bolt-on cog. I'm pretty excited about that.

Nice! I wanna see it.
You poloing today....

Still no cranks, so no. I'll be coming up for Braley's tap out though.

Mark, ebay or velosolo?

Hub/cog? Velosolo. Just seemed easier than having to do that shit myself.

Cranks are coming from ebay.

Hopefully this coming week. Still waiting on the frame and forks though!

i have everything except stem/bars/grips/brake. they should be arriving early next week!
