  2. Dunno....UDC just says "10mm Q-Factor".

    I'm not even sure where exactly they're measuring...

    I also toe-in, and I like less Q. However I don't know if that would
    still apply if I were a hardcore technical terrain rider. My skills are
    such that I don't think a difference in Q would matter much to me. My
    main MUni (Wilder/Profile) cranks flare out and I like it just fine.

    The reason people who toe-out would like wide cranks better is because
    they tend to whack their ankles more. For the people who've had this
    problem, you know what I mean.

    I think the KH Moments are kind of in the middle. Is that really 10mm?
    Total, or on each side?

    Having nothing better to do, I just used a straight edge across the
    tire of my 07 KH20 to make a baseline. I measured a Q of 10 mm on one
    side.
