In this episode of #fitmatters I talk about short cranks with Chris Balser from BikeFit Guru in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Short cranks have been the topic of discussion across many different disciplines and are touted as being the cure for everything on the bike.
Chris and I discuss both the positive and the negative implications of using short cranks. When they might work and when they might not.
If you have thoughts or comments about short cranks please leave them in the comments.
