Default Underdrive pulley question

I just purchased a new set of BBI pullies from Vivid Racing:

http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/2...-p-112437.html

I did my research and see that BBIs had an issue with cracking due to their light weight and material they were built from.

Can anybody confirm or deny that the pullies i bought are the updated ones that should be stronger or if they are the same type of pulley that people are having issues with.

What was your answer? I have heard of issues with those pullies. Did they release an updated design?

I read over on Planet 9 that the updated ones don't have holes in the design.

I sent BBI a picture of the pulley and they stated it was the updated one and that I shouldn't have any issues with them. I'm installing them this weekend or next so I'll let you know how it goes.

BBI says they fixed that issue. The ones that were cracking for their generation 2 pullies.
