My conventional design XC Pro cranks have the GG logo on the crank dust caps.Why would you have a grease guard logo on a crank? Hubs and BB certainly but not a crank

I stand corrected..so do mineMy conventional design XC Pro cranks have the GG logo on the crank dust caps.
So sorry to turn your milk sour, but these are like Mickey Mouse: not genuine. Suntour went out of business just after the Microdrive cranks were on the market for about 2 years. I have their last dealer catalogue, the Japanese made cranks were never this shape. The boss deliberately scrapped the tooling, (the bastard!) while other companies wanted to buy it....The truth is that I do not know. This is the ad where I bought them.

I have not modified anything nor have I added any sticker.
Yes, because that is where you put the grease in, the bolts were hollow, and could be accessed with the dust cap in place, so it makes sense to put the logo where the grease guarding would be happening.

Probably, but very unlikely, just think about it a little. SR Suntour did not purchased tooling, rights, patents etc. to continue production of the classic designs, let alone using the same materials. Fit & finish of these cranks are cleary some levels below the Japanese made stuff.This has been banded about previously;

Very clearly stamped with Suntour CW XP10 on the back of the arms in the huge weight saving hollow. This is the correct part number for XC Pro. I actually think these could be prototype arms for the following year when Suntour went bust.
MD cranks were having ithe GG decals on the spider OEM. As the MD cranks had a chromed shiny plastic axle bolt cover without decal, so some marketing needed to be put on them anyway. The steel crank axle bolt covers with Allen key bolt holes with decals were included with GG BBs as far as I know.Yes, because that is where you put the grease in, the bolts were hollow, and could be accessed with the dust cap in place, so it makes sense to put the logo where the grease guarding would be happening.
