That guy down there CSR is a piece of work. When I went to get mine recerted the second time, he gave me all kinds of grief. I had already sent it down there because I never dreamed of there being a problem. You basically couldn't tell this thing from new. He kept telling me he couldn't recert it because of this or that. None of it made sense. I kept on him for a legitimate reason. He finally came up with that after so many years the carbon fiber starts to lose its strength. After that he recerted it just to get rid of me. But I've talked to other people and he won't do a second recert. I not an expert so I couldn't tell if that was true or not about the carbon fiber losing its strength.
