I'm 5'5 and been using 160mm crank arms on my SL8 and Crux, for a year now and it has been the best choice for my back problems and hip flexors. I enjoy ridding 100 miles pain free, Bikotone sponsors UAE the number 1 team in the world, no doubt their products are premium and that goes for the price.

[@forest7424]

What kind of back problems did you have? I have unilateral discomfort and was wondering how to fix this other than strength and mobility which I have been dedicated to. I only get this pain in races during the high intensity

[@julioalbertoumana27]

@ I had the same problem and used to do physical therapy, chiropractor until I switched to 160mm cranks, I barely stretch, strengthening the core and glutes solved my problem.

[@fabianmolyneux2308]

Beautiful job and what a fantastic BB. I have ceramic BB, not as good as that Bikone, but nonetheless I wouldn’t have BB now that isn’t ceramic. I also have 165mm pedals fitted and they too make a big difference and I agree provide a bio mechanical benefit. However, I have found sourcing 165mm cranks a total pain. They don’t seem to be readily available. It’s frustrating that bikes only come with standard 172.5mm cranks and in some cases you are hit up with the cost of full set of new cranks if you want 165mm. These days if you buy a bike and you want to swap out the handlebars, the crank lengths, BB, saddle etc they all add ons on top of the full retail price of the bike. It’d be better when ordering a bike you had the choice of swapping stuff out in exchange for “optioning up”. Look forward to hearing the customer’s feed back on the new cranks and especially the BB

[@GCPerformance18]

yea it seems like a lot of the stock components ar eout dated and I made a video on this that thje handlebars and crank lengths are all old school widthys and lengths

400€ for BB? God damn, bike industry is overpriced as hell. People are the problem here, becasue they´ll buy that expensive products no matter what. That allows BM to go crazy with prices! Just do not buy expensive stuff and than BM would have to lower the prices. (excuse my grammar)

[@scj1420]

That is so not true. They make those expensive parts for the top level pros and will continue to do so whether average consumers buy them or not. And if there are people with enough money to spend on those top end parts that pros use, good for them.

[@diehardbikes]

As another commenter already mentioned: this is completely incorrect. The pros will always ride the top stuff. For the top premium level stuff, you will pay a premium price. Like any company that produces high end premium stuff, they will come with premium price tags. The problem isn't the company or the buyer- it's not a problem at all. You have a problem with it because you can't afford it. And that's not a company problem or a buyer problem. You aren't the target market.

very nice

[@xGshikamaru]

I just rode my 165mm cranks for the first time. They're mounted on my new bike, but because there was some delay my lbs lent me a 170mm crankset in the meantime. I can't tell the difference right away, even though I hope it will help me in the long run with tight psoas issues. I wouldn't replace the cranks on an existing bike though, unless your cranks are way too big for you.

[@bibaxification]

The physio who made my bike fit recommended 160mm cranks because : - it's the best size for my inseam . - it will increase pedaling cadence which reduces extension in most joints. In my own humble experience, the investment in a bike fit gave me knowledge of how to tweak my settings to be best adjusted for my body, and also where to spend money and where to save. For a fraction of the price of the shown (cool but pricy) bottom bracket.

[@Matthewg-yn9vx]

Hey my old cranks! Love to see this!

[@GCPerformance18]

lmao, one persons trash is another mans treasure lol

[@jetthepanda]

Lovely bike! If I were to upgrade anything my first thing would be to get some thru-axles that don't have the handles on them, J&L on ebay are cheap and light. Then wheelset, saddle, maybe pulley cage, rotors, bottle cages. After that there's not much left.

[@DisssArm]

I'm 6'2 riding a large frame canyon endurace. It came with 175mm cranks and when i went to get a bike fit, the fitter recomended me go with 165mm cranks. i was sceptical at first and was hesitant but after switching to shorter cranks my personal bests were sky rocketing on strava. it felt weird at first but i got used to them in a week or two. Plus I was able to get more aero on the bike I wasn't able to get that low without them. HIGHLY RECOMMEND you switch to shorter cranks

[@jc2685]

I'm 5ft7 and have 105 172.5mm cranks. Love the torque power you get when accelerating and climbing. If I want to increase my cadence i simply shift to a lower gear and hit 90-100rpm no problem. Shorter cranks would make me less powerful so no need to change it.

very nice!! you are going to be thrilled by it, they offer great high quality

[@youtube_chose_word_for_you]

super smooth ❤

[@buster.keaton]

Benefits of shorter cranks after using the for two years... which does NOT include speed: - Smaller pedal stroke = less wear-n-tear on your joints. - Less shoe / tire overlap. I wear a size 48 shoe, so this matters. - More pedal ground clearance when cornering... if you pedal through a corner. - Less weight... weight weenies rejoice! - Leg doesn't come as close to the chest on up stroke, allowing a lower position.

[@GCPerformance18]

yea the really only negative I have heard from people who do like the shorter cranks are less top end power numbers for big sprints, like that first initial number from the leverage

[@johndef5075]

Im 6'1" and usually use 172.5 on road. Got a good deal on some 170mm Ultegra cranks. Like them. Not necessarily better than the 172.5s but fine none the less. Wouldn't want to go shorter though.

[@GCPerformance18]

Yea, 170 is a great place to be at

[@swray2112]

Kind of off point, but as I get older, I've been going to shorter cranks after using 172.5 for over 20 years. I'm now down to 160mm Ultegra cranks. The only 165mm cranks I could find on the at the tail end of the Pandemic was 105s. I use custom gearing with 46/33 chainrings (Spécialités TA). I wanted to see how much lighter 160mm Ultegra crank arms were than 165mm 105s. To my shock the 105 crank arms were 12 grams lighter. Obviously the weight difference Shimano lists between the two are made up in the chainrings. Also, just my theory, is that they beefed up the crankarms after the drama with corrosion, they did put a plug in so water can't go down the spindle. I'm loving the 160mm cranks & I'm 5' 9.5"!

[@kimwarner6050]

I went to 155 cranks and love them. I ordered a set of 135 to see if will be better. Best part is all the cranks are carbon

[@GCPerformance18]

yea I see some poeple going smaller, I think 165 si the sweet spot for me

[@Nobleazure]

I went from 172.5 to 170 and immediately liked the change. So I went to 165 and am not a fan and will be going back to 170. Everyone is different; leg length, power output, saddle height preference and fore and aft, nose down or up, etc. IMO going to 165 is not the golden ticket that everyone seems to be getting from KZbin. Another thing, I got on my indoor training bike with 172.5 cranks after getting used to 165s, and I had to get off and put my outdoor bike on the trainer, it was that bad...

[@GCPerformance18]

its all preference for sure, alot of people see power drop offs going to smaller cranks or osme just do not like it, for me I really enjoyed it for my cadence and on the flats it works for my pedal motion, but this sport is all subjective

[@clementc9975]

Interesting design. So it relies on highly precise machining at the taper between the drive and non drive side to eliminate any play.

[@YTOnlineReviews]

Nice design.

[@bengt_axle]

The change from 172.5 to 165 is dramatic. You'll feel it right from the first pedal stroke and it may take a few days of riding to become accustomed to it. It is an advantage on a very steep seated climb where it will feel like you have one larger cog in the back.

[@johnrodgers6049]

Yes, shorter lever arm = less torque. If you ride at same power and cadence, you will need a harder gear. Basically makes all your gears a little easier. Lose the very top gear

[@GCPerformance18]

not only for steep climbs but rotation riding on the flats I noticed right away as well, not as much range of motion so I felt fresher towards the end of the ride, mimimal movements so the muscles were being used more efficiently

Going 165 really helped my hips and it gave me a better body position in the drops. Ceramic bearings would do nothing for me.

Hybrid ceramic bearings: Contain ceramic balls and stainless steel rings or races. Full ceramic bearings: Contain ceramic balls and ceramic rings or races.

[@johnrodgers6049]

Speed: Hybrid bearings can run at higher speeds than full ceramic bearings because steel rings are more forgiving. Corrosion resistance: Full ceramic bearings are more resistant to corrosion than hybrid bearings. Temperature: Full ceramic bearings can handle extreme temperatures. Shock loads: Hybrid bearings can withstand shock loads better than full ceramic bearings. Lubrication: Full ceramic bearings can run without lubrication, but hybrid bearings need lubrication

your test is absolutely non relevant because you test it without the final preload on the bearings... so obviously it spins freely. Like pretty much every BB. But at the end of the video we clearly see that once you tightened everything, it is not that smooth anymore. Pure logic. And one more thing : the lightest the grease in the bearings when cold, the minimal protection at high rotation on the rides. The grease is generally thicker when cold and gets lighter when pedalling. But a grease which is too light when cold is not ideal.
