Since when is the stiffness of a crankset a concern?
Didn't read about problems with it since 1763 . . . .

In the final thought the closing sentence>
Hopefully we’ve provided enough information to help each rider determine which crank is best for them


Most people are not knowledgeable enough to see the flaws in these kind of test neither they know to interpretate the outcomes and translate them to real world conditions where a lot of other parameters changes outcomes of such a stiffness test.

So what can people really do with it?
Nothing

What can fairwheelbikes do with it?
Drawing attention to guide people to their site

Intriguing that all but two cranksets in the test were within 1 mm of deflection of each other.
With that in mind, system weight and shifting quality / speed take the stage.

From THM's website:

THM wrote:Clavicula classic, Scapula SP and Scapula F are retiring!
After over 10 years of production we will send our Clavicula classic into retirement – a product which has set milestones.

Our Clavicula SE is a worthy successor with an even lower weight.
For the MTB versions we offer the Clavicula M³ as an adaptable alternative solution.


No classic Clavicula anymore, only the SE version from now on.

The THM Clavicula SE is as stiff as it is beautiful. They also have new brakes and a stem coming.

Sram Red look underwhelmed here, no red bb30 tested and weighted.

also, does the chainrings have big effect on stiffness?
I tend to use Praxis ring on Sram red crankset instead of the super heavy sram red rings because it last longer and weight less. not sure if it actually make the whole system less stiff or not. (but i don't feel it anyway)
