Hey, it's a tandem. I wanted to put on a Gates belt and different chainrings. The shortest FSA captains' cranks are 172.5, so I traded BBs and the original 175 cranks for the new, shorter ones. I ride 170s on my singles, same problem on them. I guess I have a big chest and thighs for such a little guy.
