There was no questions asked on the axle replacement but the rep refused to budge on the cage wear. I was hoping that he would give me a complete new set of pedals but all I got was a replacement axle. That didn't do me any good, given the cage wear. I think I may still have them around, someplace.
Sounds like you gave them quite the miles/workout in less than 2 years! I was surprised to read further and hear about the SL axle breaking - was it on the outboard end? I seem to recall that's where some Ti axles broke, but I could be mis-remembering. Myself, I'm amazed I've not broken one, Ti or steel, in all my years of using/abusing them. I'm not light these days, I push stupid-small gears uphill (I can't help myself there), and have broken at least 5 freewheel cogs in the last few years (3 steel, two alloy) as a result. But never a pedal axle - not even the supposedly-suspect ones in the Barellis. Go figure

Edit: Sorry for my part in derailing the thread there for a bit! Back to front derailleurs...
