There is nothing to understand, just remember that it doesn't matter (unless you have very short legs) which length of Omniums you buy. I'd actually suggest getting 165s, just because that avoids argument if you go to one of the indoor velodromes which needlessly insist on them. Plenty of people here have a range of cranks lengths on different bikes and don't even notice when they switch. Reading left to right in my bike park at moment, I have 175, 170,175,170,175.170,165,175,177.5
If it's any consolation, you came out of the discussion looking much less idiotic than some other people.
