I got a pair of Liberty Helix 98s this year and they rip. Only problem is this past week hitting rails like normal three different spots of the edge and base got completely ripped out and now need an edge and base replacement. Anyone else have something like this happen?

I have some wack edge rippage right on the tip of one of my helixes. pretty sure it's just like an anomaly where epoxy wasn't fully mixed in one spot though, it isn't progressed at all in like another 10 days in the park. with a park detune I haven't seen any other significant damage slamming on rails all season. like 2 cracks and no sidewall compressions or anything
