    Thats why I went with the Superbrace over the others the one piece design.Less parts to come loose hence a stiffer design.As far as stiction mine has been on for 9K and there is none-nada.I'm a big boy in the high 300's and it really improved the front end feel and over all handlig of my bike.

    The difference has to do with potential stiction not stability. 5 piece design provides for less possibility of stiction. Both do the same thing and are solid and stable. One is just more prone to stiction issues. That being said, many folks have installed the 2 piece design and are perfectly happy with it. I always take the more cautious approach and decided on the 5 piece design. Price and performance are comparable.

    Ok. That makes sense. Mine seemed to fit perfectly so I'm not going to worry about it.

    My 2-piece Superbrace works perfectly with no added stiction. In a comparison test, the fork action was identical with and without the brace.

    As stated a couple of other places in here the Superbrace alleviated the stiction in my fork making it much more compliant, transferring less road shock into my chronically sore hands.

    A fork brace is a fork brace.... Not sure how how a number of parts could make one better or worse...I would think the more parts, to a point, would make for a more custom fit....

    Thanks for asking - I meant to ask too....

    striction:
    The act of constricting, or the state of being constricted.

    Okay...I got the definition, but now what exactly are talking about with regards to the bike and what exactly are we concerned about being constricted?

    TIA,
    Steve
