Anyone running 165mm cranks on a 29-er?

180mm cranks, 1,000mm bars, 203mm dropper post.
On a Penny Farthing.

I have 180mm cranks on my SS because that's what it came with. Seems fine.

I ran 180mm cranks on my road bike back in the day, knees aren’t what they used to be so I’ve scaled back to 177.5.

If I could find single ring MTB cranks in 177.5 I’d be on it

I have some old Cook Bros Racing cranks that are 176mm. You can really feel the difference between 175 and 176 ! (no)

Long cranks on a SS seems logical since so much of your pedaling is done out of the saddle.

I think that's the reasoning behind it. Makes sense. Any climbing steeper than a gentle grade means standing up on SS.
