I for one am willing to admit that if somebody went and replaced all the 172.5mm cranks in the garage with either 170s or 175s and forbade me to change them back, that I would most likely lead a perfectly happy life of cycling anyhow. I'd feel the difference, get used to it and hopefully stop thinking about it.
