I had a shopping bag with 6 broken posts in it. I threw it away a couple years ago. 2 Bontrager 1Specialized, the other 3 were all aftermarket.
kind of a personal question but let's just say over 2 bills. I'm not a little fella.
Yes. I use a torque wrench on all my carbon parts. The failure is from flexing at the insertion point. It literally grinds a groove into the back and eventually cracks.
50 grams I'll give back to the weight weenie gods for saftey as a sacrifice. Plus you can tweak those posts a bit to get the difference down some. Cut off the extra post etc.
