Short Cranks More and more riders are discovering the advantages of using shorter crank arms, especially on recumbents and triathlon bikes. 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. As well as anyone with a leg length discrepancy or range of motion limitations

Knee pain Triathletes wanting a more aerodynamic riding position Range of motion problems. Can't spin long cranks efficiently? Tandem stoker isn't comfortable spining as fast as captain. Short cranks make some people faster.  Could you be one of them?

Smaller fairings for HPV racers. Toe/Wheel overlap (Heel/Wheel overlap on SWB recumbents) Short legs or different leg lengths.

Over the last 20 years I have helped about 2,000 people, with an amazing variety of reasons for needing short cranks. Whatever your problem, I've probably solved it for someone already. If not, I love a challenge.
