Lynn asked:
So that brings another question. Were the Stronglight Campy copies susceptible to breakage ala their Campy counterparts?
Lynn, I try to stay out of the crank debate...like religion and politics...but since you asked:
I've broken two Campy cranks and two Stronglight 106 cranks (Campagnolo copies.) I went down hard on one of the drive side Campy breaks. That was back when I weighed 165-170lbs. Admittedly, I don't fault one of the Campy cranks because it had been crashed the season before. The breaks were at or just above the pedal eye. I've never broken another crank, even with my more recent off-topic MTB riding/racing at a much greater weight. And I've never broken much else, so draw your own conclusions.
