Lance Armstrong Crank Length
I was talking with a cycling friend of mine the other day and we got into a discussion on crank length and the topic of Lance Armstrong’s Crank length came up, he thought he rides shorter cranks since Lance is more of a spinner then a masher. So anyway I did some digging around got the specs. on his US Postal Trek 5900 bike. So here’s the specs.
- Frame Size 58cm
- Crank Length 175mm
- Bar Width 44cm
- Stem Length 130cm
I was surprised that Lance at 5′ 9″ in height would ride the same length cranks as me at 6′ 1″ and basically the same frame height too, not sure about the reach on the bike though but I also ride with 44cm bars. Trek’s typically have a shorter top tube and I ride a Cannodale which has most likely a longer top tube so he’d probably be too stretched out on my bike.
I’m wondering now if he rides different length cranks on his time trial bike or any other bike, or his mountain bike, that would be interesting to know. I’ll update this post once I find some more info about it.
