I rode a 44 16 and had 175Mm DK BMX cranks on my fixie and crank arms were too long and I couldn’t pick up speed on downhills. I also had a problem with my shoe getting in the way of the tire on turns. I switched to a 53 19 and I now have 165mm cranks arms and I love it.
Ive been considering 160mm crank arms but I’m not sure how that would affect momentum. Does anyone ride 160mm crank arms?
