Oh, the print from the blog post about the upcoming crank, it comes with 
"conditions" ? It appears like the underestimating of the Susie. It's not 
like once the crank is sold they have any say in how it's used. For sure 
there's lots people who want the crank for their bikes that include off 
road riding. 

 *It's lighter, skinnier, weaker, not for off-road use and big riders off 
the saddle standing on pedals, concentrating 3x their weight and 
threatening to rip out the end of the crank at the pedal hole. It's for 
road riding. where you'll certainly stand on the pedals when you're 
climbing off the saddle and airing out yourr crotch on smooth gradual 
descents, but not while you're riding big bumps, and you aren't going to 
ride off ledges or do anything of the sort. The current all-purpose Silver 
crank is lighter than it looks, thanks to a scooped-out back of the arm. 
It's about a cm wider than this one. The original passes the ISO Mtn Bike 
test, which assumes a certain amount of weight and reckless riding. This 
one probably won't, but it will pass (it shall be tested and we'll change 
it if doesn't), the ISO Road test. It's a 110/74 bolt pattern, same as now, 
same as the XD-2, same as the mtb cranks of the '80s and probably '90s, 
too. Rings widely available, but local bike shops probably won't stock 
them. They know where they can get them, lots of sources.*
