165 Cranks...who runs them?

I was under the impression they were supposed to match your inside leg length?

Apparently for short arse legs like mine 165mm are the ticket. However Pifko who is has far longer legs than me also runs 165s.

And I'm shorter than you running 172.5 on both geared and fixed bikes.

If clearance is tight you might want shorter cranks, as you'll avoid hitting your wheel against your foot when cornering, which can be annoying, and also pedal strike on the floor, which can kick you off line and make you crash if its bad enough.
