my post 68 has this link https://store.propridehitch.com/airs...acement-mount/


from my reading this is generally the failure point. The idea is that the bracket floats a little on the up tube. The bracket attached to the TT at the end of the horizontal connecting tube, simply fails.



https://www.airforums.com/forums/f44...ke-131895.html Post #1. Heavy bikes, likely. Hitting road potholes contributing, also likely. IMO it's cheap pot metal. The PP replacements are solid stainless. Cheap insurance.

FWIW I also upgraded to the fine thread AS used (I believe) to a #10 coarse thread for the attachment of the bracket to the back of the TT.

IMHO, it is very easy to install the FIAMMA as long as you are comfortable with hand and power tools

Took me less than a day
