Greetings from Cincinnati

Bought my first e-bike late last year. Off brand but loving it so far. The only issue is it came with 170 or 175 mm crank arms and I'm getting a lot of pedal strikes. Looking at the Miranda 155's.

Looks like a good spec astro-frame bike, very similar to a KHS I once owned. Mine also came with the long cranks. I find 160-165 to be the sweet spot for me. I had to add tokens in the fork and shock, and this helped with the strikes considerably.


I'm 70 miles from Cinci heading towards Louisville. ?

Thanks! The tokens look interesting.

My first indication that the suspension wasnt just so, was that even at higher then recommended pressure (lower than recommended sag), particularly on the shock, the bike would bottom out badly. In my case the tokens were an easy and cheap correction that worked.

Oh yeah almost forgot. If your fork is capable of a 29 inch wheel, my KHS was much happier as a mullet.

Interesting. It is. Maybe that is something I need to look into as well.
