This makes me wonder what my crank arm length is. My bike is a men's frame, but it's a small men's frame (48). It's a SRAM Force crank...looks like it could be a 170 or 172.5 or 175. When the time comes to replace it I think I'll definitely make sure that I end up with a 170.

It should be stamped on the inside of the crankarm, by the pedal spindle hole? Mine are.

I must be the only one here with at least one bike that has 175s on it by choice....

That just proves you're not the average woman!

But, in all seriousness, there are women and applications where 175s are appropriate. For example, I like the extra leverage of 175s on my mountain bike, but my road bike has 170s. Just throwing out a counterpoint for consideration...
