What Size For You

165 mm is the shortest crank arm size. With a short crank arm you can do more revolutions. It also gives your feet more clearance from hitting your pegs as you pedal.

170 mm is the middle size. If you aren’t tall and don’t have problems with your feet hitting your peg get this one!

175 mm This size is best for a taller rider.

Overview

Personally, I have never ridden 22mm cranks. I probably should because I have snapped over 3 pairs. These cranks have a perfect balance of strength and weight. I like the 2 pc. design and the strong pedal boss!

My parents bought me my first BMX bike in 2011 and it changed my life. This bike has taken me all over the world and introduced me to cool places and cooler people. My goal is to help get 1,000,000 people into BMX so they can experience the joy and freedom that comes from a progression based sport.
