Has anyone tried some shorter cranks on their '22 or '23 yamaha px3 motor?

[Wallybean]

Looking to get some shorter crank arms for my '23 reign e+2. Anyone tried this and what did you use?

Praxis 160mm, e13 for Bosch Geb 4 160mm, Hope 155mm to name a few. Miranda also has some.
Just search the forum for it.....

Thanks for the reply! I wasn't able to find anything specific to the Yamaha PX3. Will these be universal?

Hope Standard Q-Factor ie made for Bisch Gen4 and Yamaha. e13 work fine too. And Praxis is what is being shipped by Giant

I thinks so I bought them in 2020 and I can’t even remember

I have ordered a set of the Hope 155's in standard. They were available near me. I was also looking at some Miranda's but didn't have any in my area.

You won’t be disappointed, they make the feel bike feel even better

Miranda website is very good with lots of choices for Yamaha motors. I ordered direct and they were here in 2 days (Portugal to UK)

what size bike do you have? I have a med and I'm torn between 155 or 150. If I keep it in high 155 will be fine but if I want to try it in low 150 makes sense but is 150 in high too short. I ride in the mountains of lake tahoe mostly enduro type riding. thoughts?

 

[gidysport]

I’ve a large and running the 152 cranks.
Pedal strikes are much less now, given the technical off-piste woodland here in the UK I don’t imagine I’d be able to use the low setting unless I rode a bike park.

I’ve put 155’s on my Scott Ransom, I figure with the assistance I don’t need the longer cranks for torque.

I went from 165mm to 155mm on a size large,it took a bit of getting used to,not pedalling but when rolling and cranks horizontal..only 20mm difference but it felt bizarre for the first couple of hours

I'm thinking 10mm would be a big change as well It would give me a chance to ride in low and see if it makes a difference on my DH runs. thanks

To be honest I didn’t feel any difference switching to 155 but I do get less pedal strikes.

I felt that the change was fairly subtle (going from 165-155). It definitely feels more "spinny" than before but it never feels less powerful and being spinny is a good thing in terms of efficiency and technique. Pedal strikes have reduced to the point of being a non issue and occur less frequently than on my non eeb enduro and fat bikes. I also swapped pedals for some lower profile flats (Deitys came off, Nukeproof went on) and this helped as well.
PS, I fitted cheap Miranda 155s just to test the concept with the intention of upgrading to some blingy Hopes if I liked the shorter length but I've not bothered as yet as the Mirandas just keep doing the job. I'd 100% recommend making the switch to shorter cranks, there's no downside that I can see (after five months using them).
