Re: [RC] ORTHO FLEX - Chris PausIn my case, it is a custom saddle and the offending screw held the crupper ring in place. I simply removed the screw and crupper ring and problem was solved. chris --- Dot Wiggins <dotwgns@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: This is what was happening to all three of the "Express" models I mentioned, besides the flex panels cracking.

My panels are just screwed on with submergedscrews. Ido have to watch one of them, it wants to back out. I need to put something in there to keep it tight.
