I have 180mm cranks on my Fisher 29er hardtail. Will be purchasing a new cross bike next week. Never had anything other than mtn bikes in 15+ years of cycling. The cross bike comes with 175mm cranks. Will I have problems switching back and forth between the two different length cranks?
Note: The cross bike is going to double as a road bike. So I probably don't have the option of simply installing 180mm XT or XTR cranks on the cross bike. I've been looking for 180mm road cranks, but all I can find in 180's is Dura-Ace... a little pricey for me.
Thanks for your help. I really appreciate the suggestions and expertise of those of you on this forum.
