165mm too long? Shimano don't make 160mm but Miranda do, had a quick look but can't find any in stock :(

I've got 165mm coming on my Commencal, what size would you be taking off Mr. Law?

Mine came with 165s but was getting pedal strike on occasion - swapped with 155s and not one since and don’t notice any noticeable difference when pedaling - a good upgrade for me ?

I put 155's on my e160 as well. Took a couple of rides to get used to them (stock is 170) and my seat post went up a bit. After a couple of rides I've decided I'm happy with the change. It's very rocky where I ride and it's really helped with pedal strikes.

Stumbled into this thread when looking for shorter arms too. I think with ebike I don't need that much leverage from a long arm. Mine came with 165 arms and I ordered 150, hope it's not too short :)

Few rides on my miranda 160's now. Just down from the 165 stock but theyre working well. Skimming across a couple rocks and they seem about right at a bit higher than my enduro bike. It seems like whatever leverage is lost is made up in no dead spot in the spin. Cant help spin circles with these
