Hi all, just wondering if any of you out there have old aliens with solid trigger wires rather than wire rope swagged to a pin? I'm just wondering how robust they are? Obviously they will bend when you sit on them, but did they last better or worse than the wire versions?

I have a set with a mix of both, personally prefer the solid pin as the cams can rotate slightly with the wire.
I think the recent versions (Fixe) have the solid pin.

In reply to Mike-Lea: cracking, chear for that. So do they get bent easily? Or are they quite springy?

In reply to mike kann:
They bend in similar fashion to the pins that connect to the wire on camalots (although they are stiffer).
Personally I've never broken one but I guess it would be possible if the pin took a large impact/compression.
