[QUOTE="Jaybird, post: 151918, member: 22283"] Thump, It seems you are not one to argue with on this subject. You seem to be convinced on the construction issue. Do you realise how lame it sounds to shout out such stuff with no backing? I mean, were is the scientific proof that the RS6 is constructed bad? How do stess tests compare between the two braces? Cut-n-paste all my comments you want, I still won't be satisfied that you have any idea on the construction quality of the RS6. Have you even seen one of the hinges on an RS6? I asked you before to explain to me why the plastic was a bad material to use. You seem to think that the fact it's plastic make the diffence. I'm a little like Rich, explain that to me...and don't hold back on the engineering talk. Now if you want to sound like a fella who advocates bikes because of their color, then go ahead. Do you have some sort of study, or at least an intelligent paragraph explaining to folks why the braces are poorly constructed? Actually, being a person who has many rides on both braces, I see no real advantage to the Asterisks over the RS6's on patella protection. If there is an edge it would be to the Asterisk for its ingenious flexing patella guard. But to say the RS6 has no real protection, wheres your study? You seriously feel that one should not buy any protection until they can afford the Asterisk? THump, if you ARE someone to take advise from, lets see your reasons why the RS6 is trash. No opinions now...just hard data. I don't think your reasoning on who should be one to take advise from holds water without some sort of backing. Where is your backing? Simply your opinion is enough? BTW....you think that the price of raw materials and construction should dictate how much a product sells for? I sure hope you haven't bought any billet aluminum products lately, or graphics, or stickers...or....... Okie, trashing something without basis is not logical, especially here. Common sense tells me that there are many things that may not have the same feel or made of as tough of material and still be an adequate product. I just want a bit more meat than the "It's trash, don't buy it" mentality....tell me why. Are you or Thump qualified to explain the charictoristics of the braces in relationship to the physiological (theres your word,Thump) makeup of the knee joint? Can you tell me in technical terms whats going on in the brace world? And, I've not gotten upset about my purchase of the RS6's, not once. That's another assumption that has been made. To be honest as to why I bought Asterisks after owning RS6's,simply because I can. My decision to purchase the Asterisk brace was pretty much confimed prior to your review of braces. The only thing I got from the review that I didn't have before, was the fact that you guys were hard as hell on the RS6, with no data to back it up. That's where I get the "dirt mag" thing....they do it all the time, and this seems to be alot like that. Like I've stated, I've had several crashes with my RS6's and not once have I had to go to the doctor...that's not saying I would have had to without them, but from my years of experience, I'm pretty sure they saved me on each occasion. You shouldn't care what the MFG's think and I commend you for that, but when folks see something posted here about a bike or its engine or any component of it, we want to hear reasons, not opinions. Should it not be the same with braces? Lets be honest here. Give me some technical information that supports your hard thrash, and I'll back off. Okie, before(weeks ago) you had mentioned that the RS6 was produced to enhance the EVS line of protection products. That in itself showed me you were going on opinion not fact. Either that or you were misinformed. EVS' first product produced was a brace(still sold today) all of the products that followed were to enhance the brace line, not the other way around. I hate pissing matches, but I can't stand a thrashing of a product that I KNOW to be of good use. Yes, I feel that the Asterisk is a better product. Lightyears better?, Maybe Is the RS6 trash?, no way. Will the RS6 protect you, yes...I have the experience to back that one. The fella who posted this thread is concerned about his tibia....maybe we can explain why the Asterisk is better protection for the tibia than any flexible brace.... :think Hmmmmm....better think good on that one fellas. Maybe you should do a poll of all the EVS wearers and see if you find any injuries while wearing it. Testimonials are much better than opinionated drivel. Fellas, don't get mad ( it's obvious you are).....take it out on me at DW, roost me if you can!:) [/QUOTE]
