CX freewheel is it? They did fail on occasion. The Regina Oro was much more reliable IME. I had a few CX's and never had a failure myself, but I remember a couple of them coming into the LBS in broken condition BITD.
Alloy freewheels were a different story. Good for like 3 rides... I remember one dude shearing all the teeth off of a cog on one of those Zeus things..
I mostly run Oros and Extras. I will look, but I'm fairly certain there's one more CX - or maybe a BX. Were BXs suspect, too?
The alloy ones I broke were on a Regina (alloy America, in the same way this broke) and I did in two Everest Novas by splitting the collars at the threaded portion in two separate incidents. I was standing up for the second one...
Swore off alloy after that.
