so can anyone tell me what are the advantages and disadvantages to going from 170mm to 167.5mm crank length?

Depending on the other things you change, you will either open your hip angle a bit or make your back a bit more horizontal. A change of only 2.5mm will have a pretty darn small effect though.

you’ll have ~ 2.5mm more ground clearance.
you’ll be able to raise your seat 2.5cm and get 2.5cm more drop… if you need it.
Advantages?
You’ll feel better.

thats a good point. so, 1/10th of an inch probably wouldn’t make a noticeable difference? would going from to a 165mm make a difference on a flat course? as in difference, i mean would i feel better off the bike to the run and cramp less?
