The total system is probably pretty good in reality, even if the joint is an odd choice for application. As I understand it Hirth joints are best in high-speed, low-torque applications (jet engines, for example) - so I like poking fun at it but of course anything can be made to work, and I have no doubt that Camapgnolo cranks work just fine. So maybe it'll be all Campy after all!
