That's a really interesting article - broadly confirms what other tests seem to indicate but it's good to see just how short people can go and still not see much major difference.
GeneralStrike-
I’ve just gone down to 160mm (im 179 tall) and power definitely hasn’t gone down (I do a specific workout once a week so can see). It’s maybe gone up, but hard to confirm that’s the cranks.
I wouldn’t know that I was riding different lengths, but I went for a bike fit and when we changed the length whilst I was on the bike I noticed it when tucked. The guy didn’t tell me what length we were at until afterwards.
