I appreciate the response, but I will not be able to afford another set
of crank arms for a bit after the purchase.

I currently ride my 20" for Muni, but it doesn't work out so well.

I'm just looking for a decent set of cranks for trails, is 150mm
considered the middle ground?

I'm sure I will modify this uni, but for now I'm just trying to find
something that will work for "all around" muni, up hills, down hills,
etc.

I am interested in riding mainly Rockville Hills park, (right by my
house), Joaquin miller, and any other Bay Area or Sacramento rides if
that helps clear it up.



I feel your pain with the 20" MUni. I had to ride a friends trials
setup on a ride where I broke a crank.

Most folks start off with 165-175mm cranks for MUni and then work down
as they become more skilled. Given your height long cranks should never
be a disadvantage. That is assuming that your legs are proportionately
long.
