Replacing the crank would mean replacing the chain rings also. There again, I don't know what the BB size is. With everything else that's been "odd-ball" sized I would expect the BB to be a strange size also at this point.
....just look up the adapters on Amazon and buy a pair. They move the pedal surfaces out a little bit, but in many cases that's an extra bonus feature.
