Fitted a replacement Puig Carbon Hugger today after the last one broke.
Anyone else had one fail? IMG_20220604_135556.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)

I've had mine on for 9K miles and no problems. How did it fail?

The cast aluminium section broke. It was cracked when I bought it, so I welded and repainted it. It was fine for a couple of years, then failed completely IMG_20220604_145256.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)

I guess the original damage was caused by heavy impact and compression of the shock?
I have used the same hugger and changed it over from 2015 to 2017 RS (Wunderlich but same casting?)
So far around 25,000 miles and currently ok.
I did note that my fitting instructions never mentioned any lubrication of the left bolt/bevel drive fitting but I covered the insert with some.
On swopping over there was obvious polishing on the insert as the torque arm moves so glad I greased this - NOT the brake caliper one!
The movement is minimal but over time I think it could stress the whole bracket assembly due to the brake caliper bolt being a fixed anchor point.

Anyone make a simple longish rear hugger ?

Don’t want a complex mount

Thanks

The grandchildren grew out of it, so I thought I would find a good use for it.
