Just wondering if anyone else out there has had a similar experience. I bought a Airstryke Profile Design aero bar for my Motobecane Century Pro. The aerobar is the model with the flip up arms. Anyway, on my first ride, I noticed that every time I hit a rough section of road, if I wasn't down on the bar, the arms started rattling. I've got an older set of flip up style scott areo bars and they are absolutely silent. I noticed that on the scott bars the hinge for the arms was machined with absolutely no slop (no play on the pivot pin or in the bracket itself). The Profile bar had slop in the pivot pin and in the bracket. I tried to contact profile, but they never replied to me. I went back to the store I bought the bars at and they are getting me a replacement. Is this common with Airstryke products? I was very disappointed with their service.
