its pretty pointless making a crankset that was designed as a 3pc into a 2pc. for years after i started the only 2pc crank out was some dodgy sounding khe one, they were a joke. its only cos of wombolts (which were designed to be 2pc from the start) that they became viable again.

I think so...they called it 2.5 pc because you still had to knock one arm onto splines. it just didn't have a bolt holding that side on

Shouldn't they all be called 2.5? Reason being, aren't all the "2pc" cranks still have the spindle made separately? Just because a company fixes 1 side of the crank to the spindle instead of the consumer, doesn't warrant a change in name. Plus 2pc cranks are a lot more like 3pc rather than 1pc, and the name makes it sound like they are equidistance. It's not even a big deal, and lame to even argue but I just feel like companies are trying to make something sound like an original idea by changing the name(i.e. KHE or who ever first uses that 2pc name).
GUMP_:
That would make the old powerbites 12 piece cranks.
4x pinch bolts
2x spindle bolts
2x arm
2x pedal boss
1x spindle
1xsprocket bolt.
