Reading up on recumbent trike efficiency, I keep hearing about how riders benefit from shorter crankarms. The ones that come with the trike are like the ones that are on bicycles, 170mm. To reduce the angle the legs have to move to complete a rotation of the pedals, shorter crankarms are typical used. This supposedly helps reduce knee pain, something which I've already started to experience.Hopefully this new modification will make my ride a bit more efficient in prep for "the ride."
