How many g's do you think are exerted outward by centripetal force at the edge of a flywheel turning 7300 rpm? 100? 1000?

Try ELEVEN THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED. 11,300g at my redline. That means 17grams becomes 425 lb. Over time, that wobble can absolutely fatigue the crank. It's not forged, it's sintered.
