Your 20 to 1 number again is no more than your own SWAG for example. Maybe it's the LBS incorrectly installing or adjusting these? Too many variables and without true sales numbers......the jury isn't really in yet.
New technology and designs will always have its detractors.
Innovation helps everyone......but there will always be the "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" response.
Your comment innovation helps everybody is laughable. Ask Specialized who finally discontinued carbon OSBB which ruined the Sworks ownership experience for many. My background is design. As the Voice of the Industry, I have an obligation to set the record straight. FS has a problem. The severity of this can not go on unaddressed. This issue is as important as global warming. Denial doesn't resolve the issue.
