Once the unit passed testing, the SS cable was cut in half and the loops for each cam were then swaged. Perhaps this explains why no one noticed that the SS cable in this failed unit was longer than it was supposed to be....
But if this was the assembly method, I HIGHLY doubt the end that resulted in this failed cam would have passed their tension testing during assembly.
I agree, noone could, would or should buy CCH, but in a few years I wouldn't mind seeing "BD Aliens" or "Trango Aliens" or "OP Aliens" Buy the singular design, leave the company and all it's troubles alone.
