The old ones lasted me 5+ years....my new ones have a crapload of play in the retention bars after 2 years. Same cleat.
I will go in with ya but only if I get the old ones.
hmmm... never tried the old ones, but I think they have 2 bearings as well instead of the bushing/bearing combo in the aluminum ones Do they use the same cleats?

Anyhow... that makes 2 and if you're interested TJ let me know and I'll try and talk him down and make th pickup if he's game.
