W I S E C O is how you spell it. If you're wise.

ANY forged crank that costs less than $1000 got its start in China. I thought it was common knowledge by now.

Most, if not all, of the cast aftermarket cranks were poured in China.

Why China? Because most Americans won't work in a hot, dirty, dangerous place like a foundry. You have to pay them extra. Then, you have the EPA regulating what they can waste into the air and water. Ever wonder why getting new blocks is so difficult? Ever wonder why American foundries are overbooked? They are a dying breed, even as demand stays the same or goes up.
