CHOOSING YOUR CRANKS LENGTH

Generally BMX cranks come in 3 different sizes… 165mm, 170mm and 175mm.
165mm: Shorter cranks can be good when you have a short rear end on your frames as it gives you slightly more clearance especially if you’re a tall rider. Generally street riders run shorter cranks to help with pop.
170mm: A good middle ground size for diversity and also the common size you’ll find on 20″ complete bikes for that very reason.
175mm: A lot of trail / bowl riders will run longer cranks to help with stability and also more room to move when doing table’s etc…
