I'm 6'3" while my wife is 5'1", and we've been riding 175/165 since the mid '80s. I don't exactly recall how we determined her crank length, but I do remember that we struggled with cadence just a bit when we first started riding a tandem. I'm assuming that my wife went from 170 to 165, but we haven't had any problems since.
