Thanks Smit-Dog, I just didn't dig deep enough. I knew I had read something about issues about this,but didn't come across anything recent, but I would say 727 and I were/are possibly in the same boat. I just didn't feel comfy leaving the braces to slack (bad knees ya know) but with with all the other adjustments you can make plus the fact that part of them go into your boots, I suppose you don't have to have a buddy at the track come over and yank on the cables to sinch them down, before you slip on your pants. Thanks for the heads up on the fix, even if I had to live with it, the braces would be worth it, I can actually walk after a day of hard riding, before I had them my knees would kill me for at least a day afterwards.
