By brother has had 2 catastrophic failures of Campy components in the last two years. The first was a Super Record Titanium bottom bracket spindle that that failed just outside the fixed cup, leaving a jagged edge that he gouged his ankle on as he crashed. The second was a crank arm (175mm I believe) that failed in the middle of the crank arm, also resulting in a crash. Needless to say, he has become concerned about riding any of his old stuff under the circumstances.

Even though Campagnolo doesn't support these components anymore, I told him to write a letter to them describing what happened just to see if he gets a response. As a former competitive rider of some renown it would be interesting to see if he gets a response.
