As a lot of people here have said, it's personal. I rode a 130mm setup on my tri bike for a while and liked it quite a bit but it isn't that much different than 145 on my road bike.
My S-works has the specialized cranks on there and it is a heck of a lot wider than 138.5mm. Also, Sram claims their BB30 cranks to be that narrow.... all of them that I have seen are just as wide as the GXP versions.
