seems. I'm 6' and I've always run 172.5 on my road bikes. I recently purchased a MTB and had 165's installed and really like the shorter cranks. I'll probably go that size on my next road bike. At 6'4" I'd be curious to see how you like the shorter cranks.

FWIW I'm 6' and wouldn't go any shorter than 170mm

I think that's too much, it's good to spin but I think you would lose a lot on

There are generally two schools of thought. 1) crank length and leg length are proportionate so, 2) if you’re riding
