I just changed crank length from 165mm to 170mm. I dropped my saddle by 5mm and moved it back by 2mm. I'll give it a ride and see how it feels, but does that sound right?

Sounds right from a geometry point of view. Your knees will end up higher at the top of the pedaling circle than they used to though. You might want to tinker with your bar height.

Yeah I did wonder about that - I guess it's about adjusting saddle height so I don't end up over-extending my knee at the 6 o'clock position, but then just accepting that 170mm will just be quite different elsewhere in the pedal stroke.

Would tinkering with bar height presumably be raising it?
