I realize there is a separate 'Asterisk' forum in 'Vendor Connection', but I thought this might be more useful to others who don't already own a set of braces......
I just recently sent my 2 year old braces back to Asterisk, per their maintenance/tune up service, and cannot believe the condition they have been returned. They were in pretty rough shape when I sent them in(ok, I've been pitched off a few times.....), but they look and function like new now!
I just wanted to thank everyone at Asterisk for the incredible support and service I've received! I've convinced 4 fellow riders/racers to invest in these(2 of which were leaning towards CTI's), and I'll continue to recommend their products.
