That wasn't really the question Vik - nor the point of the article. The
question was whether Andrew should have built the bike up the way he normally
does, which would have prevented this mishap, or whether he should have left
it as it is normally built for the consumer.
Of course it would be mentioned. In fact it's already been mentioned. It's the
larger question at issue here that Andrew felt was worth discussing. Even when
there is an anomalous failure on a bike we add it to the review - and make it
clear that it seems to be an outlier. That's the way we've always done it and
we'll continue to do so. Drew's point about mentioning it is that it would be
unfair to draw broad conclusions about the bike or component spec because of
this event.
