Short cranks win bike races! Tadej Pogacar has recently changed to riding 165mm cranks, shifting down from 172.5mm cranks, and in doing so has extended his margin of superiority over his competition. Riding on shorter cranks is not a new concept but is only now starting to gain mainstream favour, as Filippo Ganna, Sir Bradley Wiggins, Alex Dowsett and other current and retired pros have clearly demonstrates that moving to shorter cranks delivers substantial performance gains. There is mounting research evidence creating a clear rationale for moving away from the traditional 170mm/ 172.5mm and 175mm cranks to 165mm, 160mm and even shorter! In this video I present the Aerodynamics, Biomechanics, Physiology and Comfort gains from riding with shorter cranks on a road bike and share some of my own experiences, as a 192 cm rider using 160mm cranks on my bikes.
