	What would be the best crank to have in a 4age producing ~200hp? 
 
Small Crank 
Weight: 11kg 
Big end diameter: 40mm 
 
Big Crank 
Weight: 11.7kg 
Big end diameter: 42mm 
 
 
Do the extra 700g and larger big ends make the big crank a significantly stronger crank? 
 
If so, is the added strength a worthwile exchange for the increased recip. mass and bearing friction? 
 
What treatments should one do to a crank that is going to work at such high revs? (est. 8800rpm)
