Have you talked to anyone at Callie's? I'm sure they'd be quite interested...

Yes I talked to Callies and they said it should not have broken even at my power level. They said to send the crank back to them so they can check it for a bad casting. Got a question though. Could detonation damage a crank or partially crack it in a way that over a few months of driving the crank could finally just break?
