Any compensating mass NOT correctly placed (alongside, diagonal, etc.) has the effect of forming a bending plane with its axis a line through both centers of mass - a diagonal angled away from the crank's axis of rotation. The greater the misalignment, higher RPM, and greater mass the stronger the bending force. Bad.


So, does that mean CCW cranks do or don't reduce cap walk?
