The "Problem vs. Solution" Bullet Style
The Power of 160mm Cranks 📐
No saddle adjustments. No handlebar tweaks. Just shorter cranks. Here is why we bypassed 165mm and went straight to 160mm for this client:
❌ The Problems:
Hips bouncing and rocking side-to-side.
Leg pushed too high at the top of the stroke.
Ankle overcompensating and pointing down at the bottom.
✅ The Solution & Benefits:
By shortening the crank arms, we instantly stabilized the hips and smoothed out the pedal stroke. As an added bonus, shorter cranks are excellent for riders fighting tight hips and looking for better knee stability.
Proof that a precise bike fit is about geometry, not tradition.
