Hello to everyone after quite some time.
My Powerblock U90 set (stage 1 plus stage 2) has, to my utter amazement, started cracking and falling apart despite seldom use and though they have never been stored outside my living room. It seems my peace of mind, due the Made in the US and lifetime warranty policy, was actually not well founded. I also just found out that other users have already experienced what I just experienced and I have now asked Powerblock for a replacement set. What I wanted to ask anyone that might know is whether the new pro series, which are now made in China and only with a 5 year warranty, are an all metal design coated by urethane or are they like the old U90s whose plates are connected to the steel rods by urethane only?

Do Powerblock pro series address the cracking issue of the U90?

The thing is they marketed it as urethane coated. I supposed that they were essentially the Sports with a coat of urethane in order to make them quiet. Would have never bought them had I known there was no metal holding the plate to the bars.
I've applied for replacements but am afraid the replacements will have the same problem and only 5 years of warranty.
