"A point of consideration is that if you increase crank length, and drop your saddle to keep your knee angle at extension the same, you will end up with a smaller knee angle at the top. This adds shearing forces to the knee, and can add to the dead spot at the top of the stroke."





And this is why i raised my seat after adding a longer crank arm.5mm to the arm ,1/8 inch to the seat
