Of course it's useless but so is your statement.
There are only 67 Quarq users, so it is a problem for them.
I bought the SRM to see if it was any better than PT. Even with PT's faults (most of which I reckon were caused by some dodgy apprentice doing the upgrade work and not sealing the hub properly) there's no reason for me to use SRM, other than standard disc wheels being cheaper than the £3k PT Zipp disc.
Why mention torque tube failures if you're not trying to knock PT? I'm running both and so far the PT works far better than the SRM. I might still plump for the wireless version but (new) P2M is looking like a better option or the lighter G3 hubs but they have the same problem of expensive disc option. Or ditch it all and go back to time splits like Wilko.
