Crankarm length vs leg extension
Our tandem has 170mm cranks for the stoker and should have 165mm. She says that her legs are at too much of an angle at the top of the stroke. The frame size is correct for her, as is saddle height and I cannot imagine that crankarms 5mm's shorter will make a noticeable difference, but I'm not sure. Any expert opinions. Oh yes, it's a Rock n Roll Burley, not that it makes any difference, except that finding 165mm Sugino Fuse 500 cranks is proving pretty difficult.
Thanks all,
