On a related note I am in the naysayer camp on whether 2.5 mm crank length makes a difference.

After decades on 170s, I first tried 172.5s about 10 years ago. At first it seemed to get me more force, i.e less cadence for a given speed. Then my knees started to hurt abit so I retrained my feet to up the cadence, with some saddle tweaking. Now I own a mix of 170 and 172.5s, and I don't notice changing from one to another.
Does 2.5 mm matter? maybe when you begin the adaptation, but not after you have adapted.
