Yeah, that was my thinking also, broken studs in the alum brace. The plastic ubrace is trash. I wear those out after 2 weekends. I either strip the hole, rip the stud in half or rip a chunk out of the brace. The weekend I stripped out the hole. The stud was not staying tight, I had to re-tighten after every heat and it just work it out. I like the carbon, but it normally breaks after shaving. 8th scale large jumps ftw. Plus you have to factor in my driving, lol. Might try putting a nut under the brace on the ball stud to prevent the stripping.

Carbon brace is the way to go. I also haven't had a problem with my Avid towers breaking, and I don't use a spacer.
