What is Crank Length?

Crank Length (CL) is a measurement used to determine the ideal length of a bicycle crank arm based on a person's total height. It is calculated by multiplying the total height by a factor of 0.95.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following value:

Using the formula:

\[ CL = 68 \times 0.95 = 64.60 \text{ inches} \]

The Crank Length is 64.60 inches.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following value:

Using the formula:

\[ CL = 72 \times 0.95 = 68.40 \text{ inches} \]

The Crank Length is 68.40 inches.
