Hi Bob,
100% on what you are saying, But I've never had a reason to distrust the old Phoenix. And i have no reason to distrust the new owner practises.
I never asked for a spec sheet out of trust, but really cranks should come with one. So you know the quality and verious checks that have been done in manufacture. It then protects both parties.
As you say, if changes were made. It may not be noticeable. Bob, The spec sheet would perhaps be an answer to your questions.
Case in point, I understand modern day car cranks are made from EN30b. as far as I know Phoenix cranks and all other manufacturer in the past are made from EN40b. Because that's always been insisted on in old practises.
The difference in machineing time on EN30b against EN40b is £200.00 a crank. If you know how to do it.
So if we followed modern car practises, who gains the £200. The manufacturer, or the customer.
Tony.
