Every time I browse a cycling website there seems to be an article on how the peloton are adopting shorter and shorter cranks. It’s all the rage right now. This was of course spearheaded by Tadej Pogačar running 165mm cranks and winning just about everything. So if that’s the case, then 165mm cranks must be…

What is fast, anyway?
I’ve been thinking. When it comes to cycling, what exactly is “fast” and what is fast enough? And at the end of the day, does it even matter? Is fast something reserved for World Tour riders?
