now that there's a UK supplier for the UniBrace i'd go for that instead personally. more practical more of the time, neater, designed by an architect and the same price/slightly cheaper.

Hi DFish

The Neuspeed brace seems to work well, certainly seems to tighten things up at the back when pushed hard and easy to remove with an allen key and comes with a spacer bush if you want to keep the diagonal brace out (A two minute job to remove completely).

What settings are you running the PSS10's on the road? I'm asking as I've just had some installed. :)

Hi Fish

The PSS10's are on setting 7 at the moment which is pretty stiff but it grips very well
