I've had two pairs of these already this season and they both broke the same way each in under two weeks. The wire running from the top ratchet through the base and into the top cap is simply not strong enough for every day aggressive riding. I really did like the way they felt at first but it does not make up for the lack of reliability. This was not just a defect since the pair they sent me after warranty broke as well. K2 had no problems replacing them but I went with a different model this time since I am nearly positive if I went with another pair of Autos they would break well before the end of the season. Sending your equipment back to the company mid season is no fun and you will most likely break these at some point if you are ride aggressively. Since my initial level of satisfaction was so high I would not be surprised to see one of these positive reviews reposted after the reviewer breaks their pair.
