[@lisa71] Great question! Most 1913 braces should fit standard platforms, but it’s always good to double-check the specific model compatibility.

I’ve had mixed experiences with folding braces. Some brands feel sturdy while others seem flimsy. It’s a gamble sometimes!

I totally hear you, [quote=“brandon23, post:9, topic:1817”]Some brands feel sturdy while others seem flimsy…[/quote]
It’s important to check reviews before buying. I learned that the hard way.

12

I think the key is to find a good balance between price and quality. Some cheaper options might surprise you though!

13

Definitely! Like some low-cost brands can be excellent—has anyone used the Monstrum Tactical? Heard mixed reviews.

14

I’ve seen the Monstrum mentioned but I’m curious, what’s the one feature that you look for in a folding brace?

15

I recommend regularly cleaning your 1913 folding brace with a soft cloth and mild soap to prevent dirt buildup. Avoid harsh chemicals, as they can degrade the material over time.

16

That’s great advice, Cynthia! I’ve heard that applying a light lubricant after cleaning can help keep everything moving smoothly.

Make sure to inspect the hinges and joints regularly. A small crack can ruin the entire brace. A little preventative maintenance goes a long way!

18

Absolutely, Joshua! I’ve also found that storing the brace in a cool, dry place prevents warping.

I think climate plays a major role in how you care for a brace. In humid areas, use silica gel packs in storage to combat moisture. It helps!

That’s true, Susan! Also, I recommend getting a simple maintenance kit for quick fixes!
