Well not to get into another pissing match with those on the FACEBOOK side, which I will NOT continue to visit, and arrogance goes both ways, btw. MY pulley purchased directly from Rudy has performed well to this point. But all this talk and conjecture has me worried and I continue to inspect mine. Rudy hasn't heard of any other failures, and he is busy with his new life and wife, so I will not bug him about it. I did ask for more info on the builder from him, but that's it. Again, 4000+ plus miles and a lot of hard pulls, but I will keep an eye on it. Dave has his faults, but I believe in this case he is trying to just warn people about pushing the limits by using these pulleys and those of us that do know we can have failures. It is just good to know and share the experiences when we do. But share them here, I will never participate on Facebook, as I found the arrogance worse there then when Dave and I go at it here, which btw is just that. I have met Dave and I like his old ***, and we have a little fun pushing each others buttons from time to time. I have met Dave in person, and would help Dave in a heart beat if he needed it. Thanks Bob for clearing things up a bit.
