Right now my Equinox is at the shop where they're working on the front derailleur (it's been giving me fits, but that's another story). I'm also having them change out the cranks from 175 to 172.5. I know that there's a very small difference between 175 and 172.5 but having ridden bikes with 170, 172.5 and 175 I like 172.5 the best. So my question is when changing the cranks to shorter ones do you raise or lower the saddle? I can't remember. My thinking is that I need to raise it 2.5 mm, right?
