What crank length? 26" cruiser

[illMATTic]

I want to put together a 26" bmx style cruiser. What length crank arms do I want? 170,175, or 180?

Thanks,

I'm 6' with a 34" inseam, i like 175mm myself, most others prefer 180's though.

10/4... I am 6'1 . I was thinking 180's.

Thanks,

Just to pile on-- I'm 5'11", maybe 6' flat, and I prefer 180s pn my 26" cruisers. Can tolerate 175s as well...

Ya I have noticed that longer crank arms flow better. I just had no idea what the lengths were.

I am glad I asked. I almost bought 170's because there were so many for sale. I figured it was the norm. But I guess it would be on a 20" bmx.
