Alien cam lobe fell apart
|
I thought people might be interested in seeing/discussing this. |
|
CCH, Fixe, or Totem? |
|
Oops, sorry. Fixe. |
|
f**k! My green alien (original alien) remains in excellent condition. My blue alien (also original) has taken some factor one falls and remains in excellent condition. What's up with this? |
|
It seems the bolt came off. |
|
Fixe needs to get their act together |
|
I am pretty sure Aliens have had more engineering flaws then all other cams on the market combined. Maybe it is time to scrap the design, call it, and just move on with a new design. Although, at least Totem seems to be able to keep the QC in check a bit, but CCH and Fixe never seem to be able to get it right. |

It should not be defined as "in check a bit". The QC is a part of the production management. The whole production management must be at the required level to get repeatability and quality. |

I've owned, dropped, fallen on, trashed, and abused my Aliens for 10+ years and have never seen this before (which is why they are an integral part of my rack). I do remember in the past something regarding CCH closing down for a while due to various issues. |

What's this, the third such incident posted on MP? |
|
TQM isn't just boilerplate. |
|
As for "scrapping the design" posted by the sight administrator. Are you nuts or just inexperienced. The Alien is the best camming device available for horizontal cracks or any marginal (shallow, flared) placement. |
