Anyone swap to a shorter crank?

[Zudnik]

Getting a ton of pedal strikes. Yeah, I know I need to do a better job of managing my pedal strokes but am thinking of going to a shorter crank and was wondering if anyone has done that and if so what you think about it afterwards? Thx

I had the same problem on my cubes - both my action team 160 and a 2020 140. I bought a pair of Hope 155 cranks to see if that helped but the frame has cracked on the 140!! I have since bought a Haibike Allmtn 3.0 and put the shorter cranks on it and it is amazing - no pedal strikes on trails where I was constantly hitting before - Obviously this is not a like for like comparission as its a different bike with different geometry. You may have already done this but try adjusting the sag on your rear shock, making it a little stiffer - might help.

I set the bike’s suspension up when I got the bike (TM 160) and it was pedal strike galore...

.....then got it set up correctly by professionals - no pedal strikes (and if any, it’s my fault - not crank length or suspension)

I need to change my cranks to something shorter on my Stereo 140, so does anyone have any ideas which ones are compatible?

Looks good, bu I didn't really want to spend that much tbh. Any cheaper options?

Yes you can get these but you need to get bolts to hold m on
