Do the cranks stay in one piece and retain the chainrings?

I think that's the bar for a groupset to be considered as an alternative to Shimano right now.

I had like my 4th incident this season with Shimano cranks today, this time with the brand new D/A cranks I bought to replace the recalled cranks they said were "OK".

To be fair, I'm pretty sure they were talking about the northeast of England.

I’ve mostly settled on Shimano, but watching those dinks on the video made me want to run out and buy SR.

Maybe I’ll let them know in the comments that (I) Campy/Fulcrum wheels are exceptional, (II) that’s not where you place the lever on a modern handlebar, and (iii) [deleted, not constructive].
