weight is a lot more relevent than height. and im 155 pounds and riding 185's, and i like the size a lot. i guess you cant spin quite as fast, but noone likes a huck anyways.

This may not help... but after I got my 169's and had them mounted I wish that I would have gotten 179's. Im about 5'10' and I think I shoulda gotten the 179's. Plus if your still growing you can grow into them. The 179's are about up to my eyebrows on me.

Being 5'10, of course you should have got 179s. My dad (5'10)was looking to go really short for good turning and he got 179s. 169 is way short.

im 6' and i have 169s but i got them when i was like 5'7 and don't have money for new ones at the moment... i find they are a little small, but still good. 169 is definately not too big for 5'4 and growing.
