I have short legs. Probably need to get measured properly, but a tailor once said I had a 27" inside leg.
I love my Brompton, but for slightly longer periods in the saddle, I have been finding I start getting some hip pain. Also, even after various saddle positions, find that at higher cadences, I'm bobbing about a lot.
This is on a 2016 M2L.
I'm considering some significantly shorter cranks for my leg length, but at the same time, I don't want to spend a fortune and hate them, or get the wrong size front cog to go with them. But want to do some longer rides with longer stops between lights than London parks, and would really be interested in whether shorter cranks might help my short legs, and whether there are sensibly priced alternatives to try.
