Obviously it works, but, given that my leg length puts me into the upper end of frame sizes, I'm kinda wondering about trying something longer. 180mm or maybe more? Before dropping the money on this, I was curious about the experience of others with long legs, have you tried going longer on the cranks and if so what did you find?
37.25" inseam here, and use 175mm and 177.5mm cranksets. Unless you are a low RPM masher, I wouldn't recommend longer than 175mm.
