I've been using this for a few years now, great piece of kit. I was washing my bike yesterday after a few weekends out trail riding and noticed they seem bent/curved. I don't remember them being like this when I fitted them.

If anyone has a set on there bike can you check and see if yours are curved. I'll stick a picture up in a minute for comparison.

I checked their website and all the ones listed look straight. They also say they're guaranteed for life so I've dropped them a message.

Cheers
Jon

They look bent/deformed to me, you could see why it might happen with the forces going diagonally across the plate. Would be good to hear their response, good luck.

Been in touch with projection compnents today. Long story short yes I've bent them....... maybe I'm a little harsh on my Tenere, I expect a lot from it haha.

Projection both apologised to me for their product bending and then congratulated me for being the very 1st person ever in history too take them up on their lifetime guarantee.


fair play too Projection they stand by their products ( which are the dogs ****** by the way.) and are making me a beefed up super set, set free of charge.
They offer a lifetime guarantee and honour it.

So when the new ones arrive I'll throw them in and go and give them a good

Great result mate.

superb result and great customer service.

Just checked mine and they're as straight as a die after nearly five years on the bike. Still is good you highlighted this and made me check them. Impressive customer service too.

I'm wondering how they could bend when they are under tention...
if it was compression I could see it....
Also the weakest direction is side ways... but they have bent ?
in the other direction....
I would say they were made like that....
