Standard ones seem good to me. Yes of course we MUni on 145mm cranks. I
find the momentum and smoother circle helps on many climbs and descents.
The main complaint I have about short cranks, is having to wait for
friends who use 170mm cranks who constantly get left behind. I think
150mm or 155mm would be really good lengths, but might leave you wishing
you could chop five millimeters off to go that little bit faster. Then
again you might want to add another five or ten to get that little bit
more stability and control. Crank length is an individual preference
thing which you have to experiment with to find out what is best for
you. It isn't easy trying all the lengths of profile cranks at NZ$260 a
pair. I have a ~33" inseam too, and I don't consider myself to be short
or tall (5'9"ish).
