Jan, is it your contention (or did D. Rebour write) that the pros didn't use the Stronglight 49D aluminum crank when it came out in the late 1940s (or earlier?) because they were concerned with Q factor and not because they didn't have any faith that an aluminum crank wouldn't break when used in one of the big Tours?
