measuring a crank

[moparmayhem93]

when u measure a crank do u go from the sproket over or from the pedal up to the bend?
i wish i could post pics...
also will a shorter crank make it harder to pedal?

I do beleive its center line of crank to center line of the pedal.

You will loose torque with a shorter crank(making it harder to start off) but you will GAIN top end!

if I switch to shorter cranks I usually use a smaller sprocket to make the diff.

Top speed...short crank/big crank sprocket!

...and a small rear sprocket.
