I may be talking outta my ass, but ISIS, octalink 2, the new DA/Ultegra/105 w. the integrated spindle are probably better technology (i.e. lighter, stiffer, more durable) than ANY square taper crank.

Still too new to be 100%, but keirin racers and fixed dudes are the only ones who haven't gone over to the other side.

Kinda like aheadset, square taper gets by on style. That said, lots of cranks are sweet. C-record are just the prettiest. And I don't think crank stiffness makes much of a difference unless you're a clydesdale.

if the cranks are going to be for a nagasawa, go with the dura ace 7600.
square taper, njs, japanese.

I went with the Dura Ace crankset--they'll match up well with the hubs. Threw the wallet on the table already. As classy as they are, I'm not worthy of the Sugino Grand Mightys. Can't wait to get this bike going...

Grand Mightys are not so good, I would have to say the Campy are far superior.

So, does anyone have a serious study of track crank stiffness for all of the currently produced and no longer produced sets? I tried searching under multiple terms for such a study, but it doesn't appear to exist online. I'm quietly considering a set of Grand Mighty cranks, but I want to know exactly how much stiffer they are than 75s...
