I'm looking at the pics, and notice bedding material, sorta full-length. I'm wondering if the added bedding material along the sides made it spread/crack when you cinched down the receiver bolts.
Never had that happen with a McSwirly, so I'm just speculating maybe the Edge is not up to the same stresses.
The only way I could see that happening is if the bedding was "soft" which doesn't appear to be the case. Odd.
