Fuji TiSic single foot fly guide breaking?

Has anyone ever had a problem with Fuji TiSic guides breaking? I have had 2 break after they got bent and I was bending them back. They broke at the bend where frame turns to the foot. Not at the thin part of the ring but at the thicker part below the ring. I like the heck out of them but not sure if I want to spend the money on the next rod. Alconites are heavier but I have bent them back many times.

No, I have not. In fact, they generally will take more of a bend than the stainless frames and spring back. But, any of them will pop if you bend them far enough and then attempt to right them.

If you return them to Angler's Resources, Fuji's U.S. importer, I feel reasonably certain they will replace them for you.
