UNIbraces XB & UB - Review (UPDATED 23rd Oct)....
sub39h:
I think a blind test is called for. Someone close to RR should adjudicate by taking off the XB and/or the UB and without checking which has been removed RR should go on a truncated version of his 40 mile test drive. Do this three or four times back to back with different combos (neither XB or UB, XB only, UB only, and both) and see if RR can work out which is fitted each time. (I wouldn't reveal the results to RR until the end.)
I know people are busy so that's not all that feasible, but it would be an interesting experiment :happy2:
danishmkvgti:
Well i have been reflecting a bit about these braces, the XB i follow both the intention behind the use and why some won't consider it.
The UB though it's an improvement over having nothing the fact it's "flat" makes me wonder how benificial it is compared with the "thingy" fitted to mine.
As i see it it's the cross stress it has to help so tube or other more 3d structures should offer better stress relief in that area or am i missing the point?
Mind you i'm not convinced of these before i see some track action with them fitted.
Please let me hear your thoughts :notworthy:

...."adjudicate"? - "Adjudicate" is a process which is reserved for resolving disputes in a formal court. Are my own tests/experiences, assessment and information which I have bothered to share in this forum's review of the UNIbrace products standing accused of being false?
"not all that feasible"? No it's not at all feasible is it. 4 short route (20 miles minimum to cover a variety of roads around here) adds up to about 80 miles. You gonna pay for my V-Power? - No, I thought not. A guaranteed flat surface and pit/lift-ramp is needed to install the UB properly - You got one which can be used free? - No, I thought not.
If you want to ignore what I have written about my experiences of the UNIbraces, I obviously have no problem with that. If you want to ask questions, as reading this thread shows, I am happy to try my best to answer or get answers. If you don't agree with my reported findings and/or don't want to install any UNIbraces - No problem, it's entirely up to you.
But I have done all the 'tests' I am happy to spend time and money doing.

I can see how the XB boot brace can work.
But the UB, i cant really see having a huge difference unless your bouncing off of kerbs like a touring car driver as I cant really be that many other instances where you would get that much flex though the underbody in daily "fast road" driving

I have to agree there.
