Went from 165 to 167.5 to 170 to 172.5 to 175. I'm 190cm with an 84cm inseam.
I found that 165 and the 167.5 was waaay to spinny on a commuter gear of 47x17.
170 was ok but felt I couldn't really get the power down.
172.5 is my current length and it's a good balance between a good controlled mash stroke and a nice fluid spin on 49x18.
