175 v 180

[scott250]

Always ran 175 cranks.  Do 180s feel much different to ride? or do they feel much the same?

[Dark Diggler]

Depends what your doing, deffinately noticable on a track. I put 180's on a park bike and felt no difference, trails I imagine would be the same. You would have to try it riding a familiar spot and see

Mostly ride trails and sk8 parks - yer, i'll just put em on and test it out - just got hold of some 2nd hand ones - primo hollowbites, so a bit lighter than what i run. cheers for reply.

I use 180's on my Haro master and have a 45 t chainwheel to get the same feeling as my DP with 175's on and a 44 t chainwheel. 
Overall not a lot of difference though

Considering it's only 5mm - I definitely noticed a differnce when I switched to 180s for Racing.

180s seems to fit my spin/legs better.

i run 185s on some of my bikes and 180s on others and they don't feel much different, so i would assume it would be the same for 175/180

With 180's i catch my heel on the brake, with 175's i don't

i thought with 180's you would'nt reach the pedals when sat on the seat

To ride/race  180's without ending up  pedalling "choppy"( swaying side to side ) when pedalling fast , you'd have to be 5'10 " upwards

As Diggs said it don't matter when park riding as you hardly pedal

For park use shorter cranks are more popular, some kids are running 170's, makes spinning tricks easier... apparently...

im a little over 5'10" - I dont pedal much really - one or two cranks out the rollin, mmm, so most likely wont make much difference.  I do the odd nofooter, will my feet find it back ok i hate slippin a pedal, haha, hurts like mad.

I always use 175mm cranks but then again I am only 5' 7".
