I've not heard of any WI failures either and I live 15 miles up the road. I wonder if the failures occurred during developmental testing? In which case four failures are relatively few.
CNC machining seems to be what domestic machinists find cost effective - Paul uses it as well, and I like to buy locally produced stuff. So I might buy a set of WI if I had the cash and actually needed a new crank. I wouldn't be particularly happy about the pinned and ramped BLACK chainrings, but I'd rather bet my teeth on a WI than with an unproven lightly produced forged crank. Box Construction - does that describe the crank arm cross section after material is removed from the inside?
