I wouldn't worry about a 175 on your MTB. I think MTBs tend to have higher BB cases anyway for greater clearance (not sure but you could measure it from the ground). If you are doing some really serious MTB trails you'll soon find out if its a problem as your pedals may contact boulders a bit more regularly, but its only 5mm.mgarrucho said:Thanks for the reply, The only thing that bothers me is almost all bike that are sold with a small frame have a 170mm crank length. My MTB was not purchase as a whole bike instead was put together piece by piece.
It's actaully 10 mm differnce intotal movement.If both bikes were measured and are the correct size then don't worry about it, it's only 5mm.
