the carbides have hex bolts for studs...even if the caride broke off the ski remains via the bolt/stud compared to just a stud
Most likely if you damaged a carbide..you'd want to remove the ski or at least the carbine...the bolt is the same as any stud on any other carbide...other than the ski can't fall off..in the scenario where a carbide blows off...it's the sameI know it's uncommon to screw up your carbide. But it can happen. If someone were to hit something and bend a carbide or only break half of it or something. You would want to remove it. I don't see how hex bolts helps anything unless the whole bar were to rip off. Then you would have the hex bolt. Not much help if the host bar is still there in a twisted mess. or maybe just bring some bolts with you lol
