Does anyone know where I can find a copy of the article mentioned at the beginning of this thread? The link doesn’t work and the thread is no longer open for replies.

Thanks for that. If the thread wasn’t locked (and I don’t know why it would be) that link could be added to replace the one that doesn’t work. There is some good info in that thread. As for the article , he points out some interesting things, but it still leaves some questions unanswered, so it would be nice to have some further discussion assuming anyone else is interested.
The last post in that thread was mid 2022 so I have no idea why it was locked 18 months ago so I have just unlocked it so you can continue to post comments etc there.

I'm up for a discussion on that subject, have my rap crank apart now with alpha bearing and wear on the big end pin.
