I would be concerned about possibly replacing more expensive parts.
Any thoughts on this?
The arm is still going to be the weak point. The hinge pins are thicker than my ......... well, they're thick. Low roll blocks maybe? I've seen a couple of these break. The new arms should just avoid the breaking when you graze a wall at the wrong angle. No one is asking for titanium, just a little more insurance. The rear arms supposedly eliminate the need for the metal extension by molding the block into the arm. This should beef it up a little also. Good to see Corally listening once again. This company never fails to please.
