Crank length, that's a point I haven't thought about. Perhaps I will bring some measuring tape next time And yes, I'll try to build a higher power pyramid next time.
I suspect anyway that I would benefit from shorter crank arms: it is impossible for me to ride in an aero position on a size 54 frame without massaging my breakfast. Even on the size 56 that I ride now, I would prefer some extra clearance between my belly and my legs. I'll seriously think about that once I buy my next bike. Since I hate Shimano shift/brake levers with a passion, I'd like to go with SRAM next time. (Or, in case I win the lottery, with Rotor's fancy 1x13 drive train.) Then I can select my preferred crank length, too.
