Lou,
I don't understand how pressing a roller into a tire will place stress on a spoke? I have never bent nor broke a spoke and have many years, unknow mileage but pretty high, so I feel I have good RL experience. This system "floats" on the tire as it flex's from eyelets.
Happy Time, I suggested that you had snapped to a decesion as you are describing faults that don't occur with the kit style I use because of its design style. Not so much as defensive as frustrated in that folks here always have an opinion and tell me what is wrong with this kit style.... and it doesn't have those issues. Its not like a Staton at all except in curosary looks, operationaly its night and day different.
Now that I have been here for a couple months I think I understand how the Staton works and I will post some new pics of my bike showing why its different and "kinder" to the bike parts. A differnet thread really explained the parts on the other,[Staton] kits and I realise now that they seem to operate more like the old "Island Hoppers" did. If that is correct I now understand some of your issues with them.
