i know that.....i can read u know

i was just pointing out snapping bolts....he was snapping bolts be4 but slimmer bolts....now he put thicker bolts and snap thos as well as one of the basket spokes

if he made a magnet brace that would not have happen

the fist statement without the second one is what had me (and probably others) thinking you misread.

i was not familiar with his previous situation.

i totally agree with a magnet brace, or go the easy way and up-fire it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

You might wanna put the full description in your post, so it doesn't look like you can't read.

I don't think it would be too hard to implement a simple magnet brace...
