Dave was late. He was supposed to be there at 10 and I hung out a bit longer than was needed to wait for him.
What did Dave think?

Since I am a card carrying Southern Smartass member # 2145 and no one else has said it, it is left to me.
blaine and anyone else from Savvy, needs to be very careful when testing that bracket, you stop too quickly and luckrider's head will be up your ***.

That bracket is not going to fail and there's nothing you can do to make it fail and I'm going to post back up for every day that goes by and it doesn't fail or kill someone.
Besides all of that, in reference to your math kid analogy, I knew the process to arrive at the solution long before I built the brackets. I'm well familiar with aluminum alloys and what they can and can't do. I've been working with it in stressful applications for at least 20 years.

And you're like the teacher who doesn't understand that some folks know what will work and go do it even if it isn't arrived at by conventional means.

You are most likely 100% correct. All I'm trying to point out, is that in a safety sensitive system, there is ZERO room for oversight. You gotta test.
Your statement regarding the teacher vindicates mine about the student. Answer inclined kids become mechanics and solution inclined kids become engineers, for better or worse.
Over and way the *&^% out.

Look around, do you see the kit for sale yet? No you don't and you won't until I'm 100% comfortable that it will take everything anyone can throw at it and survive just fine. For the record again, I DO NOT SELL ANY BRAKES. I am the designer, developer, and supervise the testing and evaluation.
You're late to the party with your assumptions, but no one has spent as much time as I have figuring out the process for making these things work. The fact that I'm 100 percent successful with ZERO failures of ANY KIND should give you a clue as to the amount of time I spend on this stuff.

Just because I have no letters behind my name to satisfy the needs of some doesn't mean I take this stuff lightly, nor does it mean I haven't sent a bracket to an engineer buddy to have it drawn up and a FEA done on it.

It's ok, let him go. He just built a bracket.

If you can do all that in a couple of hours, we really need to talk.
