Like pushing bigger gears at slower cadences ? ) longer cranks. Like spinning...

... sm.ller gears at higher cadences ? > shorter cranks. I think this form.la tends to be true even though there will always be a few weirdos who like things the opposite way.

Bernard Hinault used to say that efficient cycling was a m.tter of balancing cardio exertion against m.scular exertion. Too big a gear and your m.scles becom. fatigued, too sm.ll a gear and your cardio explodes. And som. riders are naturally stronger in m.scular efforts while others are naturally stronger in cardio efforts.

Fast-spinning track riders have always gravitated toward shorter cranks but they also need the superior turning clearance that shorter crank arm. and narrower pedals offer.
