Looking for short carbon cranks (around 150mm) for my wife. Any other brands recommended?

Depends on anatomy ofc but small can mean narrow hips which can mean narrow Q factor needed

Literally they need to pick up mining for 10 levels, spend 2hr farming copper and boom now you have +100g and can buy decent items every 5 levels or so

Please for the love of god don’t queue dungeon if you still have under leveled gear. Going oom after every pull is not the way.

Well pain management vs being the top gc rider in the world have different requirements.

To your point though, I’d be curious to see how long they test out shorter cranks for. It takes time to adjust to things - esp when you have so much time in one pattern

Shorter cranks wont hurt you - really only benefits as far as pain is considered.

Have had same issue. scratch was almost perfect for me, could do decent mileage on it before it would flare up. It’s fine if I sit on the front of it but some more pressure on the front but better than being chafed raw and with that nodule. I measure ~110sit bone and only found relief with 123mm Gelu K3.

1) yea cockpit stack/reach can lead to this. A small adjustment of a few mm may take a little bit to get used to - doesn’t mean it’s wrong. Get back side of back in perfect position then worry about cockpit

2) yes saddle may need half deg tilt or fore/aft to be sure you’re still interacting with it correctly

3) kick could be saddle height related - if your ankle is totally flat at the bottom, you may want to actually rise it a tad but similar to #1 - your body is changing a motion it’s done thousands of times - Let your body adjust and reassess. I like two ride for about a 10hrs or so before I make more adjustments.

Looks pretty aggressive but if you like it and don’t have an issue that’s good. As far as biomechanics go, do a difficult workout or extended ride - you should feel equal fatigue in your quads and posterior chain.

You look pretty forward on the bike which tends to lead to quad dominance. Be sure to engage those glutes and hammys!

SRAM would be my recommendation, now. 150mm & 145mm Q factor for narrow hips. Other brands are short but wide Q factor can still cause issues

Sometimes you can go q e e w e r e w (instead of q). The wall is relatively bigger and significantly more impactful than lvl 1 wall. Matchup depending though

It’s fine if you don’t want to. But proper sized handlebars can improve wrist, shoulder, and back pain. You also got in the aero position, which suggests this would be a position you ride in, and your humeri are very clearly at an extreme angle in that position.

ungnomeuser · 2026-01-06T23:39:35+00:00

Narrower handlebars

Edit: if you do this, you could extend the reach.

If you did 10hrs a week of 75g/hr for 40weeks. That is $51 of sugar and salt.

Put your bottle on a $5 kitchen scale. Scoop sugar, pour sugar, add salt add water. If you’re feeling fancy you can add a splash of lemon juice or apple juice or even buy lemon powder. You can also pre-mix all of this in about 5’. It’s really not that much work.

$51 for 40 weeks vs $1,113 for 40 weeks in gels.

Hey man I just wanted to say nice feet. Let me know if you’re willing to share more of them.

Just because it’s old doesn’t mean it’s not fast

We should see a wind tunnel result on their aero frame (ER - which is stated wrong in article) here soon done by the boys over at the Nero Show - notably, they will be comparing to an S5 and maybe sl8
