Hello everyone, I am looking for a Tall and Wide Cabane Gear that has no seat truss loading for my Model C.

If anyone has contact information and photos / feedback - super appreciated!

I'm trying to figure out exactly what you are trying to do.  As it is, the standard cabane style gear doesn't load the seat truss, rather it pulls in from the sides and can buckle the bottom tube of the seat truss in compression.   (unless that is what you are referring to)  I actually think it's good to tie the seat truss to the center of the cabane.  A load on the seat truss pushes out on the bottom of the seat truss, just the opposite of what the cabane does. I think tying them together will help to cancel out those stresses.  I've actually done that on my Avid MK IV.    JImChuk
