I want to know if anyone has or knows were I can find a crank arm to wheel size ratio to feet chart?? I have a 26" mt. Uni with a 170mm crank and want to ride street w/ mt. bikers I'm a little slow and would like to go a little faster. but don't want to buy the wrong size cranks because profile cranks are not cheap!
Thanks Josh

Go the extra mile its never crowded !

Shorter cranks will allow you to increase your speed a little, but you still won't be able to keep up with your 2 wheeeled friends if they are decent cyclists🙁 I'd use the money to invest in a larger wheeled uni for riding on the street

If you ain't crashing, you ain't going fast enough!!!!!!!!!!!
You can also ride a 29" or Coker (36"😉 on trails, though you might have to walk some technical parts. But the bikes will always have the edge on your because your "gear inch" rate will never be bigger than your wheel size.

Street I mean Freeriding, Urban assalt, Such as jumping stairs drops grinding. The problem is when cruzing from point to point I'm a little slow, would 165mm be short enough or should I go 160mm, I'd say there cruzing speed is about 7 to 11 mph. I want to get close to that as possible, I don't mind changing the cranks to ride the trails. Thanks

You could download my "UniCalc software. It should answer the question. (www.ironjungle.com)

I agree with Gen Dribbles - whatever crank length you have you'll never be able to keep up with them. I used to ride with an street riding bike crew and was always struggling to keep up between locations. Ask 'em to slow down.
