I noticed that whenever I would cracked something on one of my CB 3/6k devices, it was usually when I had been wearing jeans. Denim is a tough material, and a snug cut is going to put more stress on the end of the cage - which translates to much more stress at the pivot area: the section where the cage meets the rings.
The HT with the integrated lock has a similar problem. Hot water probably softens the material, so getting dressed before the resin re - hardens bends it more than it should be.

Giles....
I am now waiting for my 3rd tube. The previous two have broken in exactly the same place. The first was broken during the night, I woke to find him dangling in the wind so to speak, the second has just broken under normal wear. I would love to get one made of metal. I think this has been the most comfortable device I have worn so far.

OK. So what lotions, soaps, cleaning agents did you use?sonic chaste wrote:Giles....

Just general soap and hot water in shower, no major cleaning agents. According to HT, they've had a bad batch of tubes, have changed the resin, to one which is stronger. I am waiting to see

Received my new tube today. It's been on all day, early indication are, it's much stiffer than previous versions. Previously, after a few hours, the older tubes were soft and pliable, this one is still hard. I hope this turns out to be a good update.
Re: Survey: Holy Trainer 2 breakages and lotions/soaps
My HT2 has not broken yet. I concur about it being the most comfortable device I have tried. In addition is is the least visible under clothing that I have tried. Some of this is the integrated lock but it is mostly the way it sits when being worn. Even when wearing a biking brief my KH has had to feel to ensure the cage was being worn.
I hope mine does not break because it is my favorite device so far and I do not want to deal with the hassle of returns, etc.
