I am wondering if you are maybe a bit too concerned with what the "charts" are telling you. You should always remember that charts like that are recommendations and not set in stone. Have you tried riding 170s and found they do not work for you? The difference between the two is really quite small. I know some claim they can tell a difference, but I have one bike with 175 as opposed to all the others being 170, and I cannot say I feel a difference. If I go by the charts, I am not supposed to be riding 170 at all, but a 165mm. YMMV.
