It`s a good result for a cheap steel. Specially treated steel in machinery shafts has to survive a couple of million load cycles.

You know that we can make a lightweight aluminum badass custom spring system for you? Sure you know.
But generally there is an option to copy the existing part in stainless steel. Should take another 500000 turns easily

Thanks Rafal! I know that your are making great work. You are the first person I would contact for a spring system!
But I had a spare pair of boots! With my new "old" Northwave .900 I'm ready for 500'000 other turns!

Thank you! It's really nice to hear this
I'm sure that the other pair will take as much turns as the old ones!

Wow! Thanks
I almost broke all pieces in my preceding pair. So some spare pieces would be appreciated! Thanks again!
See you very soon!
