why are you bothering getting new cranks. Why do you NEED new cranks? You wont notice 2.5mm.

Ive rode 170 and 175 cranks on the same bike and noticed no diff.

It’s not a need, more of a 170 is what I’ve ridden for years and it works for me kinda thing.

And given we’re on a thread where needless things are added to bikes for “adventure” and “gravel” changing cranks because of some cognitive bias is par for the course surely.

I thought gravel and adventure was a mindset?

Just wait until the chainrings are toast, for the asking price of new Shimano chainrings you can almost get the full crank.
