Re: 24" freestyle cranks

I'm putting 114s on my 24" for puttering around town, but that's
probably as short as you'd want to go... although shorter cranks are
available. I know my 152s are kind of long for flatland riding, even
with the knobby tire. I figure when I throw on a rounded slick tire,
I'll be able to handle shorter cranks, and get around with less effort.

125s is a little long for 20". Though I used it for years, I think most
of the top riders today are using cranks in the 102 range (including
me)

I think 125 is good for Freesytle, or even 140. It depends how much
leverage you want. Shorter cranks make for smoother riding and better
spins, but less leverage. Longer cranks make the "power" tricks easier,
such as side ride, unispins, and some one-footed stuff.

I would start with 125 and take it from there, as 125 is also a decent
size for cruising, and the legal size for racing (if you care).
