Sold the frame and moved some of the parts over to a Bare Knuckle I just picked up. The Kilo was great, and for the money it's impossible to beat, but the BK is definitely an upgrade.

Sram Omnium

Submitted by SSDayDreamer on 05/19/2011.

I have a 57cm Kilo TT and I want to upgrade to a sram Omnium too. When I was looking at omnium cranks online I noticed there were different sizes, like yours for exmaple you say is 167.5. What is this based on and what size should I get for my kilo? I figured same size as yours because we both have the same bike. Would I be right?

Sure, why not?

Submitted by Franzen on 05/23/2011.

I chose these for a little extra leverage over 165 without being so long as to get pedal strike/overlap. They are definitely not too long. I agree that you could go with 165-170 with no problems. I have basically no overlap even with size L cages and very little chance of pedal strike on turns.

its the lenght of the crank

Submitted by bettermade on 05/20/2011.

its the lenght of the crank arms, the bigger your crank arms the more leverage, for fixed city riding i wouldnt go too big (pedal strike in corners) 165, 167.5, 170mm are all fine

I am also a fan. It's nice to find a bargain like that that still deserves nice parts.
