Ian -
First you answer a question for a manufacturer. Not playing by your own rules?
Why can't Calmini answer a question about a product of theirs that occured damage? They should be defending the fact that it was a prototype and announcing what modifications have been made to correct this problem, In an effort to restore faith in their product and design abilities.
Bumpers/Skids/Rear Carriers are expensive. Before I buy anything I want to know others opinions of the product and how it compares to direct offsets. I appreciate everyones comments about products and I take everyones comments into consideration, even people I don't like.
Second you say "The bumper that got bent was a prototype", then you say "Steve was running a production bumper at GOX".
So was it a prototype or a production bumper that bent???
Maybe Steve, an employee of Calmini can clear this up as he should have in the first place, Steve?
