Ba-dump-bump!
But seriously folks, a wider Q seems to helped out my IT band problem. YMMV
etc.

Looking at the web site I see the DaVinci/White Industries Q factor is listed
at a whopping 158 mm. Jeez! A stance that wide would getcha arrested at the
Minneapolis-St. Paul airport. Hopefully that's just for triples and doubles
are narrower than that.
The trend to ridiculously wide cranks
I run DaVinci cranks on my Bleriot. Fabulous quality, low Q, beautiful
eye candy.
Extremely pleased with them.

Here's a crank, made in america, (White Ind) with 130, 110, or 104 spiders
and crank lengths from 150 to 200 mm, with a very low Q.

I have them on my Ebisu All Purpose and Bilenkey Tandem. Great looking and
performing cranks for less money than the $400

As a matter of trivia, 171mm is the closest mm size to the old-timey 6
3/4"
Considering they will be made in Taiwan ( less $$) , coupled with
amortizing tooling and other non-recurring costs (more$$) and Jan's comment
that they would be affordable, I took a wild guess and said $400 ish. I am
probably way off.
Near net closed die tooling is not cheap to make. And wi
Enough to make a Phil cassette hub look cheap I'm guessing.

Nor the 6'4" guys who like 175-180 mm cranks. But what can you do, I'd bet the

Those are pretty snazzy. 171mm arm length only? Interesting choice. That
will either make both the 170mm and 172.5mm zealots happyor neither.

I'm really excited about the RH crank, makes a nice alternative to the
VO crank. It seems like the RH crank is better thought out. I doubt
it'll happen but I'd love to see RH/Compass do a quality 6spd FW, it
would make for a great drivetrain. I'll most likely sell the VO crank
on my rando bike and
