From what I understand the norm is going towards 172.5- 175. Seems in the last Olympics there were almost NO 170's at the track and all 172.5 - 175.

My goal is not Olympic style, but MY STYLE. I was looking to just see if 170 made sens and my thinking is YES. However now from this forum and another comment from a fellow track rider who is a National Champ, I am getting a bit unsure as he thinks 172.5 - 175 makes sense.
Hmmm, Looks like I may need to just test the water and see what works for me.
It is good to know that the longer crank as I always was taught is not as big an issue as always promoted.
