When I switched from HollowBites to Twombolts, my ankles thought they died and went to heaven. No more ankle bite!
Louis:
How much heavier are current Thunderbolts than v1 Wombolts? They were beefed up in comparison?
I still have the original Wombolts and can remember thinking they were scary light taking them out of the box, they're also to this day not broken.

Yeah, I was trying to figure out exactly what problem those slits would cause.... and I'm guessing "torsion." The force of cranks on a spindle is to twist the spindle in opposite directions. . . . .

Or maybe axial load on the pedal boss area, especially if many spacers are used in crank spindle. I think this issue could simply be avoided if those slits were 90 degrees rotated (i don't know if i explained that properly)
I truely think that's a fine concept to get more tightness and get rid of wobbling, at least for the half of spindle boss of the crank.
