What I took away from this Charlie is that you’re still riding 175mm cranks

My initial reaction (well, next after "I want to give that a try") is that these will exert a torque on the BB shell that it doesn't normally experience,because the pedal load is now cantilevered and applied directly rather than transferred radially by a crankshaft, and I wonder what that means long term. Edit: Threaded BBs are already slightly cantilevered, since the bearings are external to the frame, but only by that very small offset distance. So this might not necessarily be a new force, but I think it will be significantly greater.

looks like they're the creation of that Lee likes bikes guy. I've always thought that guy was kinda an idiot.

1/31/2025 12:54pm I just made an account to make this comment, I'm the guy in that video. They definitely felt bizarre and completely wrong the first couple days with them, which is all we showed in the video. After riding them more I started to love them, and I'll get them on again once the bike park opens. They're not an advantage...
