Apologies for the abruptness in my original reply.
Yes I am was saying the exact same thing as you until it failed. Was always amazed how one big bolt into a threaded aluminium block could take so much abuse - it can’t. I don’t mind the aesthetic of the support and after looking at various other options like mini nitto racks etc I think it’s the best solution for me as I regularly carry heavy loads and ride off road and ride a largish bike.

I have read the thread but sorry for not paying attention! I hadn't realised it was such an issue. Multiple reported failures would certainly be a good reason.
As I said upthread, mine has always been fine, including on off-road sections with camping gear in the summer. But I guess I've been lucky.
