I'm sure this will be a product that Autogeek carries once they are able to get ahead of production on them, but as of now you can send your FLEX backing plate to them and they'll convert it for about $37 bucks shipped back to you. Now that is a sweet deal!
I've had the same problems that others have reported. My backing plate rubbed against the housing and gummed up the gear and put a nice track in the back of the backing plate. I called Powerhouse to get a replacement plate sent and asked that they just send it directly to the Edge for conversion. I should have the new one in a week or so.
I'm excited because I think this will solve all my problems. The way that the Edge adapter works with this machine is to center it in the middle of the gear and backing plate. This avoids putting any pressure on the outside track at all and eliminating the possibility of rubbing. Not only do I get to start using my Edge pads with my FLEX, but I also don't have to worry about it burning up the backing plate and spitting black plastic all over the place.
Here is the idea with the backing plate.
I think that will solve a ton of problems with the FLEX. Does anyone at Autogeek have any information about when you'll be able to start carrying this adapter?
