Bonding cycle wings to powder coated metal with PU adhesive

My cycle wings have been PUed onto the wing stays for 3 years but have finally come lose. It wasn't the PU that gave way, it pulled the powder coat of the metal.

So be warned. If you are going to PU cycle wings, sand back to the metal first in the area to be bonded.
