And with your input, it will not go on a black Holdsworth Special in the future.
If my nearly 70yo legs bend/break it - would be a first - I will report on the 'accomplishment'.
i had a quite harmless fall on a bike equipped with one of these (slipped at low speed on wet leafs) and went to see a bikeshop because pedalling felt awkward. I suspected i bent my nice Campagnolo pedal axle, but the mech just smiled and told me a Campa pedal doesn't bend, but the Coronados always do. He was right.
As for the quality, the spider is just pressed on and also has a reputation of coming lose. Not exactly a masterpiece of german engineering...
