I am trying to figure out which WI crankset is required for a 1x build on a Flaanimal 5.0. The G30 has the wider Q-factor arms but still designed for a 68mm BB. The R30 has the narrow Q-factor, but not sure if there is enough frame/tire clearance? Which ones have been used for the builds?

The G30 is definitely the crankset that we’ve been using. With the Flaanimal 5.0 you would probably want to use the matching White Industries T47 BB with internal bearings, not external cups.

We’ve never heard of complaints about the Q factor of the White Industries. Everyone seems to love that crank. But if you would like a lower Q factor then the Zayante is a great crank.
Thanks Steve! So aesthetics aside, would the Praxis Zayante Carbon crankset be a better choice due to the lower Q-Factor and marginally lighter weight? Thoughts?
