I modified the cranks on my wife’s bike by cutting them down to 155mm and redrilling for the pedals. I didn’t have a reverse threaded tap so I just threaded it for normal thread. I got two sets of Leotard pedals and swapped out the pedal spindles. Luckily, the threads were tight enough that they never backed out. I still have the cranks, although they haven’t been used for 30+ years.
I would never do that for me but I put a lot of carbon parts on her bike now that I would never use. She can’t stress them like I can.
