Just not zero. Actually, I was just rolling my eyes at the broken cranks you posted. I didn't really think I'd get stranded, in fact, when I finally got around to checking it, the crankset (Sram Truvita Elita) had just loosened up a little. Had I taken a look after the ride I'd have figured it out, but I'd done over 50 miles and was just happy to have been able to get up off the Catrike and load it in the truck. I pulled it apart today and the bearings look Ok. I'll probably ride a couple times before the new BB gets here.. due on the 29th.
