I wonder who will be the first to offer these and if it will be an option or a running change. I have no idea if one will fit the current eccentric shells.

After square taper, this is the first design that makes any sense to me. The industry has totally messed up this part of the bike, particularly for tandems with the ongoing shortage of outboard bearing cranks.

I went old school with daVinci cranks.

considering the BB30 was developed by cannondale and i think they are the only manufacturer using the standard that also makes tandems.. i doubt we'll see it anywhere before cannondale does it. of course it would require someone to make a BB30 tandem crankset and a huge eccentric... which is to say.. don't hold your breath unless you want one bad enough to pay calfee to make one for you
