That was just weird looking.

was it layed up dry or something?

yes, very strange and unique. The most common problem is when the ride plate comes loose ands sometimes loss from not using washers on the bolts and silicone when installing.

i agree. that is so obviously an installation issue.

people need to learn how to put on rideplates much better so the carbon fiber "visual" layer doesnt come off like that.


is that the $165 "carbon fiber" ride plate you sell on your site?

I said the most "common problem" .

What happened to lakeboy is the first I've seen from any of my rideplates.

I bet there's a 6 year old thread about to be revived any minute now!!

what thread could you possibly be referring to? :noevil:

that's cosmetic carbon.
pull it or cut it off and ride.
you also have a loose nut on your trim system and the plate screws are not the right ones btw.

good eye!

I saw a WCF one completely fall apart and disappear in to a lake once. Completely de-laminated and melted off of the ski while riding. All 4 bolts were still in place!


I lost a wammer plate same way..nothing left but 4 bolts and washers
 
I lost a wammer plate too back in the day (8 years ago) then realized why we use silicone on the bolts and plate.



on my REV I use a lockwasher as well....Its a must with a coarse threaded insert


on the fx style brass inserts a regular greased bolt has held just fine for me...in fact, after pretty much EVERY ride Ill at least grab the rideplate and try and wiggle it just to see if it feels loose

it sucks losing rideplates....it sucks even more losing them when they take 2-3 hours of modification before they fit!
