Any reason to not use super short cranks?

Adding to the required saddle height change, should be consideration of the front end height too.

If you aim to keep the same saddle to bar drops (or extensions for Tri/TT) you will need to raise the front end a similar amount as the saddle height increase.

This gets overlooked too often and people looking to open a hip angle accidentally end up restricting it by keeping the front end at the lower (original) height.
