Most arm builders offer a cheater arm for bikes that is between 1 & 1/2 to three inches, then a 4, 6, 8, 10, or 12 inch extension. Most people will want to run a specific class, therefore either keeping it close to 60 or 68 inch if at all possible. Depends on the bike that way. I am sure most would opt for an adjustable if at all possible.
BTW, I have a 6 over which seems to one of the more popular lengths. I ride it on the street and at the track no problems. I really want an adjustable one so I can run 60 inch class, then out to about 6-8 over for my "best ET" runs.
