The only failure of a cam was the smallest alien having the faces torn off the lobes in a fall. Yes, cams (and other gear) are generally stronger than the placement itself. The #4 camalot which I saw after testing failed at about 50% more than rating. My point is more about quality control (ongoing with production). It's quite correct that cams really dont fail, it's just nice to know the level to which companies go to, to make sure every customer gets a full performance product |
