V11 Saddle Screws

[Troxxor]

First saddle screw just broke.   Now looking to reinforce them. I've seen several solutions but I'm not sure what the best is. I'd appreciate any suggestions, if something is working well for you please let me know. 

Also do we have any confirmation if the saddle will eventually be replaced by inmotion?

I have been riding without screws in the upper section of each saddle for several weeks without issue ( the wheel even took a tumble and had no issue with the top sections being free). I have found no change in performance and feel that the trolley handle functions better without the tension up top.

It is also nice not having to partially disassemble the wheel to access the upper shock valves.

MY OPINION, not universal fact, lol.

I couldn’t agree more.  No need to re-screw them in.  I also leave them free as it is much easier to get back to the top shock fills that way.  I notice absolutely no problem with them not screwed in (even though mine are fine), and I leave them unscrewed on purpose.

Interesting, maybe what they should be looking at is some sort of velcro fastener.

Please god no. 
 

Something magnetic would be much more polished.

Magnetic is good, I just mean something a bit flexible but provides a good connection and is easily removable to access the shock.

Inmotion V11F will have a better system, but for now my saddle plate is unscrewed also, its really not a problem - so far.  Thye construction is underengineered and a bit silly. When will Inmotion get me another saddleplate + screw + glue + magnet  ?

Yes I'm pretty sure we all have broken screws. Mine broke in 2 days.

I will say they are not quite as brittle as i thought.  I have beat up my machine pretty good so far and still only the one that was broken from the factory has broken.  I got a warranty repair for the broken bracket (broken out of box from factory) but they just sent flimsy little plastic brackets. Not worth using as reinforcements imo. Function well as a repair though.
