View Full Version : Effect of crankarm length on saddle height?

A stupid question for you guys:

All else being equal--frame, rider, etc--would mounting shorter (say by
5mm? 10mm?) cranks mean a corresponding decrease in saddle height to get
the same amount of total leg extension?

I'm riding 175mm cranks now; my old bike was a bit big, but ran with
170mm cranks. I'm debating whether or not I should go to shorter cranks.
