That's what I was wondering, if they just mount together, I don't see them doing anything.

They hit both brake caliper bolts.

only fit the talon R

They are bolted in 2 places to the hub, should theoretically make it stronger, time will tell i guess.

Are people bending or breaking those bolts? Or is it a "just cause" thing?

These brackets are suppose to be the other side of the hub that would make the radius rod joints "double shear" instead of single.

Double shear mean the joint is supported on both sides by the mount. The talon only has the hub on one side of the rod, making it single shear. Alot of other models have double shear points.

I fully understand what double shear means. Thank you.

What my point is, if the bolts are strong enough, and properly tight, the double shear isn't really necessary.

it’s to strengthen the hub.

not the bolts.

I purchased as set of these for my X from McNasty Customz. Theirs is also designed to protect the CV boot from behind.

but all they do is tie the two bolts together.

nothing to the brake caliper bolts.

Correct, they are suspension radius rod braces. Just some extra reinforcement so all the force isn't on the hub.

Where did you find them for the R ?

I bought these but I was unaware that they wouldn't work with the L&W radius rods I have on my R.

So I got the ones shown in the first post and can confirm that they will work with the L&W radius rods. I got them here

My bad, you said R not X. The McNasty's are for the X.

Yes they do

 

[jamesh]

They'll distribute the load so it is more shared with other single shear bolts. One pic of a broken hub was shared on facebook and then a handful of accessory companies rushed these things to market. Probably unnecessary, but doubt they'll hurt anything. One more thing to scoop up and carry mud around.

Right. Another thing that is different between R and X
