Schlumpf 36er crank arms?

I have a 36er geared to 54 with a Harper hub. I'm pretty happy using
152s.

I tried a geared 36 (harper hub) with 150s and it seemed like a pretty
good size. Hans Fiby had (it got stolen) a schlumpf 36 and used 170mm
cranks which seemed to fit him pretty well.

If I were to have a geared 36 I would probably start with 150s and then
mess around with the next longest crank size and the next smallest
crank size to see which one gave me the most controlled and comfortable
fast average speed.

A schlumpf 36??? How fast are you going???? BTW I am 5'8" and have a
n36. I tried 170's for control and literally could hardly reach the
pedal on the down stroke.

A geared 36er is great! It's not so much about top speed, but about
going fast more comfortably, and maintaining a higher average speed.

to go 15+ mph on a regular 36er, you have to spin like mad, but on a
geared up 36er it's much more casual. It's very noticeable when going
down a mild slope. You almost don't notice how fast you're going.

Less saddle-soreness too!

I am thinking 152s but I recall someone saying when geared, pedaling
becomes mashing and I was wondering if people are running 160s maybe
I have been waiting a while for the hub and it is finally being put
together and hopefully I will have it in a week or two.

Last I heard, Ryan Atkins had it. That was a long time ago, though.
