wo wo wo wo

185s     tush

biggest to go  is 180s as you will find the 185s hard to spin

i run 180s on a 20 but cruiser 175 to spin the gear better

just see how you gety on

i had an sr 24 and ran profile 180s but went back to 175s and found i span out the gate a lot better

I am running 175's on my cruiser as MADD DOGG says to spin.  I have always tended to run the same length on both 20" and 24" as a rule of thumb.

Ben Forwood is probably the tallest rider in UK BMX at around 6ft 5".  He got his E1, W4 and E4 plates on Profile 181mm cranks and his W2 on Shimano DXR 180mm cranks.  Spin to win.

no, power through....longer crank more leverage, more push/torque....unless you got skinny legs, then spin to win
