I'm sure Chase will address a lot of the comments in more detail tomorrow, but I wanted to chime in to thank you all again for your input so far! Without you guys, we would have a tough time molding these into such successful products!
Regarding the engineering side of things, we've adopted a methodology for this particular product and it's to keep the brace as clean, simple and affordable as possible
without sacrificing performance. We've got the tools and the knowledge to collect and analyze real, robust data and react accordingly. If a bracket is too thin to be rigid enough, or if a lighter bar will do the job as well as a heavier bar, you can bet that our engineering and design process will bring those details to the surface so that we can all benefit from them.
So, with that said, keep the ideas flowing! Hopefully you guys can teach us a thing or two and maybe we can do the same. In the end, we'll all end up with a killer strut bar (and maybe triangulation bars, if we can prove that there's improvement to be made, sorry Chase
)!
