The over-rotation dislocating the balls is different than carbon melting(?) and cracking causing over-rotation. The crux of it is what is TRP's one report of brake failure in this manner. They've got another report of failure? If the over-rotation-ball-dislocation problem is fixed, does the carbon cracking/melting on the SLC get fixed as well, but discretely?

It reads better about some over-rotation dislocation than "The brake cable actuator arm that we made out of carbon to save 8 grams can melt (duh) and crack, leading to sudden and complete failure."

I queried on the TRP Facebook whether the one report of failure was on a Spyre, or Spryre SLC.

TRP Brakes Ritterview, my understanding is the problem is irrespective of carbon vs aluminum
Which doesn't answer the question.
