Long cranks.

I must be an anomaly. I am fairly short 5'6.5", but I like longer cranks for leverage when climbing. I use 170s (never used anything shorter) for most riding (I tend to ride higher gears). My climber has the longer cranks (177.5mm); I am out of the saddle most of the time using that bike so leg extension is not a problem, but at an increase of only .3" it really is not an issue even during normal cycling. Never used 180mm or anything under 170mm so nothing to provide on that front
