here is there reply

Sorry to hear about the trouble with your cranks and we hope the damage to yourself is healing well. We will get you a new set of Next arms under warranty coverage. As we talked about on the phone today you can have your new shop contact me and I will set up the warranty claim with them. This kind of tab failure is not something we expect to see, although we have made some changes in the carbon lay-up to strengthen the chaintabs further. The new Next cranks will serve you well. Thanks for riding RaceFace.
