Lots of things can fail on bikes, but I am surprised that pull-up straps don't fail more regularly given the load we put on them. I've seen rusted, clapped out Huffys with everything else gone, but the brake levers hanging on heroically. Good thing, too.
Here's to the designers who realized that even pot metal would be adequate in some situations. :beer:
