Because the thin plates caused the tabs to bend - as seen in the photo - Cannondale then went to a 2.8mm thick friction disk. The extra .5mm per plate is why the new set-up only has 8 frictions and 9 pressure plates.
However - with the switch, the clutch springs ended up not being strong enough to keep the new arrangement (8 and 9) from slipping, so they went with a heavier spring. If you switch to the thicker plates, you will need to replace your springs.
Now for the shameless plug...
I have the thicker friction discs for only $7.25 each ($58.00 for the set of 8,) the steel pressure discs for $2.50 ($22.50 for the set of 9) and the stronger springs; $51.26 for the set of six. $131.76 will replace everything.

take no shame in your plugs Brad, at those prices we are happy you plug things in. Imagine if we owned a hondu or yammie, we would be forced to pay way above retail.
