Having done as much warranty work as I have I see the differences between quality and not. The good ones wanted their stuff back to figure out the issues and solve it for next time, the cheap stuff usually was a toss and we will just send new ones because of course sending it back and having someone actually look at it and solve what happened and pay for R+D to not have that problem for the future.

Everyone has problems, humans are imperfect and humans are behind everything being made in the world however the good humans know that yes they can make mistakes and would rather solve them than just replace parts over and over. Also generally a company like Cane Creek has a lot fewer problems, yes they had a problem here but that is probably not a common one.

I know there are a lot of CC fakes as well, how do I know I have seen them and talked to them about it. The eeBrakes are commonly faked by Alibaba and his 40 thieves and I can imagine other things from them being faked as well so it is also possible you didn't buy from an authorized dealer given your history.
Way to dig your heels in. '[..] They are taking a lot of time to design products that will last and do more quality control. When you try to save money going elsewhere you pay for it just after purchase sometimes quite heavily.' - how much QC time did they spend on this, and if it was more than zero how did they miss massive voids? You're always going 'you get what you pay for' but when someone drops a grand and gets a faulty, dangerous POS you're still sticking for CC...
Would your first post be different if OP stated it was CC in the original post? Would you still 'caveat emptor' on the cheap stuff and extol the value of going for established, more expensive brands?
