No Problem !!
If your seat-height needs to change , just buy new cranks !!
The fixed nature of the saddle attachment simplifies one thing . There are no adjustments !
But things become complex , when you have to adjust your saddle height by carefully choosing :
1.) distance from rails of saddle , to top surface of saddle .
2.) crank length .
3.) distance from center of pedal-axle , to surface where shoe meets pedal .
( I still like the engineering design behind those Hi-E pedals , with the rider's foot below the center-line of the "axle" , and the similar Shimano pedals - were those AX pedals ? )
