Ah! Never had the mtb version only the roady stuff.
we see it but how is it actuated? I have not had one of these in my hands, so no idea on how it would actuate but also the thread form could just be used as a bonding surface finish.Is no-one seeing the fact that the stays are bolted together at the seat ??
I would guess it's some sort of threaded shaft or grub screw that is either threaded into (so one on each side) or straight through (most likely) the seat tube lug to give some mechanical strength to the joint and a surface for the glue to bond to.
OOOPS! that's a buggerNow...I've just come across this. I'm no expert but surely there are limits to Loctites super glue capabilities
