Short Cranks

More and more riders are discovering the advantages of using shorter crank arms on recumbents. However they have been stymied by the lack of reasonably priced, short cranks, capable of accepting small 3rd chainrings. (Of course shorter riders, on upright bicycles, can also benefit from short cranks. )
