The second iteration of the crank system was designed to replace the prototype crankset designed in iteration one with an improved custom crankset while maintaining the same size requirements. The design efforts were focused on three main components: the inner crank arm, bearing housing and assembly, and outer crank arm. The system is composed of commercially available components (chainring, bearings and bolts) and machined parts (chainring mount, bearing housing, inner and outer crank arms).
