I need to replace my now quite worn SRAM Force compact chainset but am wondering which crank arm length to go for. I'm 6' ft tall. My current cranks are 172.5 mm. There is a 175mm and 177 mm option though.
I suppose I get on just fine with the 172.5 mm but does anyone know if there are any benefits from having a longer crank arm given my height? For instance does this give me more power/leverage when doing really steep climbs? Does anyone else of the same height as me opt for a longer or shorter crank?
