I purchased some new Hobie diamond wire assemblies and just finished initially tensioning two of them by hand...when I noticed that the one really didn't look quite right...checked the others (4 in total) and all seem to have a varying amount of "kink" in the press fitting. These have never been sailed, brand new.
Are these safe to use or should they be returned / exchanged at the dealer? My used ones (old) are near to perfectly straight...just really old.
I removed a turnbuckle on the one just to verify that it wasn't some misalignment in the threads or some other strange thing...looks to be in the fitting.
