According to Mike @ VD they have some machine / tooling issues. 26 x 60 guards have been in short supply for a while, so not sure if thats connected, and VD short on details so also not sure if thats the fender rolling or stay forming tooling.
Lots of out of opts currently out of stock on Berthoud site https://berthoudcycles.fr/en/71-fenders
I did think maybe they are working through old stock piles before relaunching shapes or new tech, which is why they are shipping 50mm stays with with 60mm guard. But it would also make sense if they are looking to reinvest in new tooling due to machine failure to work through significant stockpiles before they do that, if the new tooling means designs need to change ...

Sorry I'm missed the notification.
Mine came out a bit off too, I had to slowly work them to have them fit.
I think Berthoud might have some QC problems at the moment, because the shape was ever slightly different on the last installs I did.
So yeah, the install is a bit of a faff - having to drill extra holes two. But generally, the end result is worth it.
Seing the Stayer with the proper install, it was worth the extra work! 👍
