  1. Since your son and bike combo are so light, I would run a really short crankarm, maybe we can learn from the roadies on spin comfort! I say short arms and a tall gear.

  2. Check out the crank charts on several of the bmx retailer websites.  It's a pretty standard chart and works for most people. It's set up based on leg length.   Look in the FAQs/Tech section at http://www.danscomp.com and you'll find it there...it should help.  Some people vary a little from the chart based on their own preference or experience, but it's pretty much spot on for most people.
