My last plate has the exact same bend. I also measured the friction plates and they are below specifications.
Friction plates = 2.5mm
The springs are good for a little bit longer.
Springs = 42mm
Who had clutch plates for sale?
I need 9.

If you got the spec for the friction plate thickness out of the c-dale manual it is for the new thicker plates. It is the wrong spec for the ones you have and yours still might be good. Call brad @ blackwidow he knows the right spec for the old frictions that you have. He also has the new clutch sets with the 8 frictions that is thicker. I believe he was selling sets with frictions, steels and springs for 110 but don't quote me on that.

Okay - Here goes...
In the original set-up, Cannondale used 9 friction and 10 pressure disks. The friction disks were about 2.3mm thick. 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.
