La lunghezza delle pedivelle | Bikeitalia LAB

Crank length is one of the most debated topics among cyclists: what's the correct size? Is it really necessary to lengthen or shorten the crank? What adjustments should I make to adapt my position to a different crank size? In this video, Omar Gatti, a biomechanic and doctor of motor sciences, explains everything about crank length in cycling. Crank length influences the force we apply to the pedal, our pedaling frequency, knee kinematics, and resistance to fatigue, resulting in greater or lesser tissue oxygenation. For this reason, it's important to choose the correct crank length and only adjust it occasionally, after first evaluating the cycling performance required. Bikeitalia has been providing biomechanical assessments since 2015. To date, we've put more than 1,000 cyclists on their bikes. At Bikeitalia LAB, the entire staff is made up of graduates in exercise science and physiotherapy, offering a comprehensive service that focuses on the cyclist's body and its characteristics.
