i don't think lance (or his competitors in today's sport) need(s) to worry about metal fatigue. e-RICHIE chester, ct

That said, the main problem, IMO, with being competitive and racing archaic equipment is metal fatigue. Steel and especially aluminum will only hold up to a certain number of cycles of stress, eventually the part breaks. When racing the last thing the rider wants to worry about is his stem, or other part breaking. chris ioakimedes Fairfax California
