Nice clip!
I used them to secure some Ali door card on the rod after every other fitting coming loose within a week of use, the wedges didn’t budge after years. I must have had them on and off at least a dozen times during the build and I didn’t change one of them, so I wouldn’t worry about reusing them. There was also only a very small witness mark on the panel.
The RS ones are just faux Nords. -
Thanks, nice explanation, though it definitely relies on digging a little bit into the material : "When the bolt is tightened, the teeth grip and seat the mating surfaces".
@Chaley and yourself convinced me, I'm gonna try them out before drilling through my frame. Do the copies work just as well? The nord locks are stupidly expensive.

The thought of wrapping every single bolt each time doesn't seem very appealing to me either ;)
I though that wedgelocks required also digging into the material to prevent spinning. If they're just digging into each other, what's the difference with a standard washer?
I got an reply from Berthoud by the way : they confirmed that you can't re-radius stainless steel mudguards (at least not without specialized tools), contrary to aluminum ones.
