@pastry_lover
that is correct
however i have witnessed nuff profile cranks snap at the welds, and profile axle splines get stripped.
only one set of primo's i've seen damaged, that's me pal who cracked both arms in between the pinch bolts (i suspect overtightening but it could just be inevitable aluminium fatigue). bearing in mind he's had them for over ten years though
but if bearing longevity is your main concern, obviously bigger bearings is the way to go.
