I didn't even know they made those! I know that Ondrej Sosenka, the hour record holder, is approximately 6'6-6'7 and uses 190mm crankarms and those are already really long.
First of all, I'm not a dude. Second, I am the tall one with the ability to push big cranks sans problems, trust me, they work like a charm; Lennard Zinn knows his stuff and he rccomended them to me. Also, specing crank arms for time trialing is totally different than specing them for all-around triathlon bikes like my Zinn and certainly different than a touring setup so of course Sosenka is going to use shorter cranks...it's worthy of note that he is shorter than me too so he would use a shorter crank.
