Even more dangerous was that he was selling cast cranks as billet. Without doing x-ray good luck finding occlusions in a Chinese part. It could look fine and even measure out fine (these did not thank God) but have bubbles within the casting.

There is a huge amount of testing, engineering, and quality control that goes into a crank made by Bryant or Callies.
