I'm with you. The only benefit torx has is in assembly. Easier to hold in the tools. It amazes me how many techs don't even know that there is a torx plus. I even went to NAPA and told them I need a t-45 plus and he gave me a t-45, when I told him that wasn't it, he thought I was an idiot. I had him get his catolog out, found them in it and had him order me what I needed. (He's been at the NAPA for 20 plus years).

Are the pluses the ones with the post in the hole? I agree it's a doofus deal for a bike that has to be serviced regularly. They are for s*ithouse doors in public restrooms where dinks pull the fasteners out for fun.
