Longer Cranks - where can I get them?

[bobzrag]

I've been tweaking my bike setup and after reading the zinn site about longer cranks, I'm interested upgrading - but not at $500ish range. Anyone know where I can find longer cranks, 182mm might be an improvement without killing clearance, probably 190's would be more appropriate.

I currently have a 19" bike, I'm 6'4", 200lbs.

Profile makes Cranks up to 190mm. But single chainring only.

no SS bike yet, may be a project with an old frame, but right now i'm all geared up with full suspension

My favorite cranks, Middleburn. Have them on my 5-Spot. I wanted a square taper, compact crank set. I was so used to 180mm cranks on my single speed also have 180mm on the Turner.

Craig is right you need to be more watchfull of pedal strikes.

try to find a set of BULLSEYE cranks, i believe they ve since closed the doors.they came in lengths of 178,182,190s.also made great hubs,all pretty cheap by todays stuf.VERY strong cranks too,perfect for a ss bike.

What they all said. The Path will set you right.
I myself would be leery of going too long.

Shimano m-960(xtr) cranks are getting blown out all over the web for $299.00. I think they go to 180.

I stand corrected.

you are partly right. 3 rings would be really tough...2 is way doable though...and cool because they have a spider that is compact so you can run smaller rings, like a 29 or 30.
