155 cranks

[Bomble]

Bought some 155mm cranks for my 160rs, do I need to get a setting changed in the motor? I seem to remember on the gen 3 Bosch you had to?

 

[nathdogg]

no you dont

Switch the motor on then off 6 times in quick succession and then hold the power button on for ten seconds to unlock clown mode.

Cheers fellas?

Which ones did you go for?

I went for the Mirandas. Really happy with them.

Why do you think you need cranks that short?

Why do you think you need cranks that short?

You don't. I have 165's on my new bike. But I had 155's on my old bike and loved them. So many times they help with my less than perfect technique. Going to try 160's on the new bike.

Is this where you tell me to learn how to ride instead of buying shorter cranks?? I ride a lot in really rocky areas and they help massively with pedal strikes when trying to peddle up very tricky rocky climbs etc.
Had them on about a week now and super happy with the difference, the Whyte is quite low. Glad I put a bash plate on it too?

I'm pretty sure Gary's beaten me to it.

hey help massively with pedal strikes when trying to peddle up very tricky rocky climbs etc.

Fair enough, I find the best way to deal with them is find a nice flat fire road and miss them out altogether.

what bash plate have you got on it? i'm losing paint at the bottom of mine so could do with something on there

likewise I fitted Hope 155mm to reduce pedal strikes and am happy with the outcome. Pedal strikes can lead to accidents and damage to components after all, so definitely not desirable.
I also fitted Rockguarz bash plate to reduce paint loss on the BB. It isn't pretty but it does work.

Oh and as an unexpected side effect I seem to be having less pain in my knees

Putting the seat down would have solved that

Or made it worse...............
