He doesn't say the intended usage or anything about his weight or riding style.

Moment cranks might be fine for trials or street, but they are too heavy for most people who ride on the road.

I've been using the Spirit cranks now, and pretty happy with them (will post a review on Adventure Unicyclist next week).

Previously my favourite road crank were the Quax ones- they're still better in terms of q-factor, but I'm sold on the two hole Spirits (I was wrong about the double hole too- it makes life easier esp if you are running disc brakes and Schlumpf hubs).

I am assuming a trials uni because of strength and light and the size.

But then that still doesn't imply anything about the absolute strength requirement - I have 125 Nimbus Ventures on my street/trials uni, and doubt very much I'll ever bend them given my usage.
