How many here haven't used numbers of Berk saddles and complained about cracks?
The difference between the Lupina on my Epic and the 5g cages on my Aethos is that I know I'd be made whole again when the former inevitably breaks

Yes, ofcourse it's way worse if your saddle fails when you bounce down a descent.
Well, i have mine on a road bike and i have the 8.5g version.
I hardly think i would use these at my gravel and never on a MTB bike.

It's better for you to show excatly which part of Topeak Feza breaks into your patent. Apperantly their product is not a 1:1 copy from the beginning, which some other ali products are.

Topeak´s lawyer already accepted our design patent. First they offered to pay for a licence, then the next day they threatened to file for cancellation of my patent.
After many costly months they told my lawyer that they were going to make a new and completely different design called V15, which they also sent to me.
I had new hope, but now it seems that they are circulating their old design again.

Can anyone comment how the Topeak Feza cages compare to the Arundle Mandible?
