If you want a 10% reduction (as your math leads us to believe) perhaps that can be justification for designing a29er specific crankset. The company that has this new wonder crank now has a marketing gimmick that other companies don't have. That new crank will need a new fr der, won't it? If we already have a need for slightly larger rotors, heck, through in a RR der and it's a group.

I'm talking about marketing people - not math.
