Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Ok, it sounds crazy, I found a 172.5 Stages Rival left arm , but my Red Crankset is 170mm. So if I use it then left is 172.5mm and right is 170mm, what do you think about that? Should I pass ? I just want to try out Stages to see how it performs.

Thanks

There was thread not long ago on this. It didn't involve a Stages, just unequal length arms. You should search for it, but I don't recall any reporting an actual problem with 1 size difference.
