Yes, ofcourse it's way worse if your saddle fails when you bounce down a descent.
Well, i have mine on a road bike and i have the 8.5g version.
I hardly think i would use these at my gravel and never on a MTB bike.

registered in 2015 and still in force

It's better for you to show excatly which part of Topeak Feza breaks into your patent. Apperantly their product is not a 1:1 copy from the beginning, which some other ali products are.CarbonWorks wrote: ↑Fri Mar 31, 2023 10:28 amThe topic is open again, as Topeak proudly presents its "new" cage design at the Taipei Cycling show

Topeak´s lawyer already accepted our design patent. First they offered to pay for a licence, then the next day they threatened to file for cancellation of my patent.
After many costly months they told my lawyer that they were going to make a new and completely different design called V15, which they also sent to me.
I had new hope, but now it seems that they are circulating their old design again.

I guess it's good to keep calm, but frankly i had been furious..
