Wenier Donating Members 1,736 Member For: 14y 11m 5d Gender: Male Location: Christchurch, New Zealand Posted 08/04/14 07:31 AM Share Posted 08/04/14 07:31 AM (edited) Those X-Brace's (cross-brace's) are so weak at their central weld (I guess you can buy cheap/expensive, though). Also not enough leverage to get decent torque without compromising the weld. Its not welded due to the fact you can fold it straight. Just 2 straight bars with the sockets on the ends and a bolt setup to allow folding. So its plenty strong enough. Also if you can't get enough torque out of it then your wheel nuts are beyond torqued. Edited 08/04/14 07:32 AM by Wenier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if you can't get enough torque out of it then your wheel nuts are beyond torqued.Perhaps the folding ones are better. The (probably cheap) solid cross braces suck, that's for sure. I've broken two trying to undo rattle-gun'd wheel nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
