I wasn't trying to make some veiled dig at your product, it was an honest question regarding duty cycles and work hardening.
I didn't take it as a dig at the product. I answered your question as directly as I could with as much understanding as I could.

It is in the development thread:

It is in our blog post:

It isn't on the sales pages because we don't feel it is something to be concerned about as it should easily last the life of the car for everyone that isn't go full race car, and even those guys should get 50,000 cycles out of them, which could be 5 years, or 10, or even 20.

*The LCA deformed at ~46k cycles at 3.5G bump load with a material that was 25% weaker than what we went to production with as well. We don't know where the production units end up fatigue wise but having 25% higher yield strength put any residing worries at bay for us.*

Let me know if you have any other questions.
