I have been researching crank lengths. I have a 34 inch in seam and the suggested crank length for me is 185mm. Has anyone else tried different crank length? I currently run a 175mm crank and enjoy the extra leverage, and my cadence in a sprint race is still 100rpm+.

I havent run anythign longer than 175 on the road.
However, my MTBs have 180s on them. And the difference is very apparent in terms of leverage- especially since you're more likely to feel the difference off road.

Good luck finding 185s- I doubt there are too many out there- its hard enough to find 180s.

Life is short. Play hard and get dirty doing it.
