    I'll repeat myself--- I'm talking about approaching the limit regarding
    crank length, without having too much leverage. On any size uni.

    with standard equipment, the limit is approximately 25mm, as this is
    half the diametre of the taper, plus half the diametre of the pedal
    spindle, plus a tiny bit of metal in between.

    Thinner axles/spindles would allow this figure to come down.

    There's a video around of possibly Brian Macenzie riding a coker with
    40mm cranks. He's using more of a BC wheel style body movement to keep
    it balanced as the torque fomr the cranks is insufficient to make any
    sudden adjustments.
