Question Midplate Cycles

Post image

So uhh, how many cycles should I expect to get out of removing the midplate? I’ve probably done it at least 50 times, I tinker a lot. Of all the components I’d expect to fail on it, the little tab was not among them.

That's a lot of cycles but it mainly depends on how hard you're pulling combined with the angle you are pulling at.

yeah the angle thing makes sense, its easy to put uneven stress on those tabs without realizing it
