Q-factor cranks ?

The more Q-factor a crank has the further it angles out from the uni. A
crank with less Q will be closer in to the wheel. Q-factor is the
distance between the 2 pedals. The more Q you have the more controll
(for say trials) you have, but less makes for a smoother ride (for say
street).

The q-factor is the distance through the axle between the pedals. Every
setup has q-factor--it's just a question of how much.

So, high q-factor means your pedals are farther apart. This can be due
to having a wide hub and/or cranks that flare outward.
