So the WI cranks are cnc machined, so what. I've never heard of a WI crank failure, and if one did fail I'm certain WI would make good on it, no question. The 8 mm of additional Q is insignificant, as is the 100 g.
In the last issue of BQ, Jan Heine admitted that two bikes with 8 lbs of difference in weight rode very similarly, yet he always comments on a few grams of weight difference when he reviews the best of contemporary US mfg. like Pauls and Whites. I don't get why he does that. I have the WI VCB Road Cranks on my Rambouillet and absolutely love them. I also have the DaVinci Cranks, mfg. by White Ind, on both my tandem and my Ebisu and they are great cranks. The Tandem even has a nice (used ) set of WI rings, which are very strong and shift very well. There are a number of US manufacturers making great bicycle parts and I for one would rather support them than chase after historic parts that wont function any better or last any longer, or look any nicer. michael take care of Self; it's one of a kind and irrreplaceable -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
