« on: June 01, 2009, 09:13 PM »
im building an os race bike,Haro group 1 rs2, and have some 180mm redline proline cranks for it.
will these be too long :-\ ie will i bang my knees on the bars and have limited ground clearance etc. i will be using a 50mm stem and im not that tall!
i would be grateful for any advice.
cheers Andy. ;)

Dont worry about the cranks!!  :)

If you keep whacking your knees on the bars then always upgrade for an XL Stem  to give you more clearance!!  :daumenhoch:

Hi Andy,

I have 180mm Sugino cranks on my RS1. I'm 6'2" and don't have any bother.
