I'm getting back into tris after spending 4 years racing crits/rr/tts. My current bike is a gen 2 Speed Concept with 170mm cranks, which has served me well (I'm 5'11") I feel very comfortable on it and can hold aero position for multiple hours. My previous stent into tris included sprints and olympic distance, but next year I'll be doing IM Florida. The bike will undoubtedly be my strongest discipline (plan on between 4:40-4:55). It seems that because of the BB90 bottom bracket, the shortest cranks I would be able to fit on the SC would be Shimano/SRAM 165s.
Question 1: Would switching to a shorter crank benefit me either during the bike or help with my run?
Question 2: If so, would switching to 165 make a meaningful difference, or do I need to switch to something smaller?
Question 3: If I need something smaller than 165, does anyone know of one that will fit a SC with BB90?
Question 4: If there isn't anything smaller than 165 that will fit the SC, would going smaller be worth selling the SC to get a different bike?
Thanks in advance for the help.
