How long would this last? How many flex cycles could this take before it breaks at same location?

I just finished traveling for a year with them, we used them every single day and they are just like new.

I've had a set of these for a few years. One broke a few months ago and that one was used to wrap and unwrap the same earbud set almost daily. I feel I got my value out of it :-)

I've had them for a while and bend them all the time and they haven't broke yet and ffor the price if they do break you can buy more

I think it is 100,000 cycles, but it can last longer. That number is quite conservative.

I used the light on my 12 mile daily commute to and from work. Part of that commute takes me over some rough terrain. I've had my Cygolite for two weeks mounted to the front forks. Lights had stayed in place. As a matter of fact, yesterday I broke a screw which holds my rear rack to frame after running over some a man hole cover which had been dislodged out of place.

If you're good to your electronics then you shouldn't have an issue. The frame is a flexible plastic and could probably be broke intentionally fairly easy but if you're not just tossing them around or mistreating them they should last. I've had mine for quite a while with no problems.

Sorry....I didn't see the Flex part. I would say no, this clip wouldn't work because that bottom piece would get in the way of the switch. Unless you never changed the switch, or took the transponder out each time you needed to switch it.

I use it at least twice a month on my board and other items ....I bought it 6 months a ago and I have about 1/10 left.

Thanks for the speedy response. I think I was after a number though. It's going to be either 16 Points of Engagement, or 32. You can tell by turning the freehub one full rotation and counting how many times it clicks.

I use it twice a day.. And I got it a month back.. And I think it would definitely last for another 12-14 days.. So on the whole it might run for month and a half or a bit more ..

We actually use this sometimes to secure rubber feet on some of our equipment. However it won't be permanent, but may be as permanent as superglue or another glue (I haven't found anything that really holds those feet permanently!). Probably last a 3-6 months , or more, mainly depending on use. The tape does eventually loose it's grip.

I'm not sure how long it may last but it depends on the settings of your pc. Example your brightness and power management!

It typically lasted 3 to 4 hours if I didn't attach USB devices to it. (I usually use about 85% of full screen brightness.)

Not sure..but I use this machine at my bar and it lasts about 9mos. I use it very often and it works great. I have no worries about replacing it because I use it in high volumes and the price is right,

My suspicion is that the reason people have it break so quickly is because they run it with the load unbalanced. It is INCREDIBLY difficult to get the load properly balanced, and if you allow it to run unbalanced it destroys the motor. I've had mine for four months, and it hasn't broken yet, but we shall see. Personally, I wouldn't buy it again because of the load balancing issue, even if it doesn't break. When this one bites the dust, I'm going to look for one that is shorter and fatter (since I think the shape of it is a factor in why it's hard to balance the load), and if I can't find one, I'm just going to let my clothes line dry.

It wont last. Its great at first but will start to peel as soon as something hits it. Think of it like rubber cement. That's how easy it came off my Harley. My three year old peeled it off for me.

Mine has lasted a couple of years, but usually by then, the switch itself stops working. It's not made to be very durable, unfortunately. :(

Hey, I think they are probly much the same. I do have the flexible one and it's working fine, 8 months steady. Double sided sticky tape to roof of my van, highway teste at 70 mph. If low profile is important, flexy is best, also very lightweight. It's also basically indestructible. I have stepped right on it. As far as power output goes the stiff one is probably identical, but consider your application carefully. Good luck

I hit the wrong button, this will only work with the flex due to the way its shaped and the connectors. Each one is different. Unless the charge's shape and design is identical, it won't work.
