I'm an inch shorter and 1 shoe size larger.
Thing is, I have a bad knee and to avoid knee pain, it's 165MM.
Since I had a titanium "nail" inserted in my tibia through the same bad knee 6 weeks ago, I'm hopeful I'll even be able to ride again. I saw the surgeon today and he said I "MIGHT" have additional permanent "stiffness".
However, crank length ISN'T your issue. Too long of a bottom bracket is.........
You need to find out what the recommended length is for your new crank.
