We are using these cranks out of the specific environment they were designed for, treating them to all kinds of abuse.
That's painful about your DAs, would have thought them to be pretty indestructible.
It'll be interesting to see if any of the cranksets on the bikes at work have developed the crack in that area, given that they have been used in the "specific environment they were designed for".

I have had a pair of Stronglights crack at three bolt points on the spider before I realised and stopped riding them. We helped some guy limp 15KM into Margate on a group ride after this.
On Wednesday I went to fit a ten year old DA 7600 crank. After cleaning it up realised it was actually going to be a "nope" and I'll be listing the non-drive side on EBay..
Guess we just need to take better care of our stuff, clean and inspect more often.
