Aliencamsbycch.com says every main cable since January 2006 has been tested in this manner. This makes me believe that the issue with poor "braze wicking" would be prevented from reaching the market.

Curious what post-recall (post-January 2006) Alien stem and braze failures make you believe?

Sorry, I'll edit that post to make my statement clearer. The pull-testing of 100% of units to 7.7+ kN makes me believe that the same issue could not make it to the market. Had they pull-tested to 7.7+ kN back then, there's a good chance (knowing what we know) that this product wouldn't have made it out the door.
