Explain. If you take a bottom bracket axle made of steel with yield strength
100,000 psi and replace it with an identical part made of steel with yield
strength 120,000 psi, will it transfer more power from the same rider?

Perhaps you'd like to explain to us why that would matter? How many people can cause distortion of the bottom bracket axle in either case?

Sheesh! Tom, that is precisely the point!

It was YOU who claimed "But these higher grade materials allowed for
large improvements in power transfer." That's what I was responding to.
Now you seem to be arguing with yourself!

Care to explain why you said that in the first place? What on earth were
you thinking?

Do you understand that there is a difference between the average sports rider and a pro racer where that flexing DOES cause a difference?
