I've never owned a bicycle with Campagnolo SR titanium bits on it. My "normal" weight is about 180 and I fluctuate about 5 pounds either way over the course of a year. I'm a fairly fast rider that likes hills (good thing too, here in Somers, CT!); I rarely do gentle but long rides. So my question, with all I've heard about pedal axles and crank spindles bending - are they true? Could I have them on a bicycle of mine and expect them to last over a period of years that would be mostly a special Sunday ride? Just how easily do they bend?

Thanks in advance,
