[BBTC Ride_calendar] Cannondale recall
by Don Williams 11 Jan '07

11 Jan '07

from this morning's RoadBikeRider.com newsletter Road bike recall: Cannondale and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission are recalling 145 high-end road bikes sold by 'dale dealers between July and November, 2006. According to a news release, the "C1" front brake can fail because the brake-mounting bolt (pivot bolt) on the affected bikes is 3 mm short. This results in inadequate thread engagement and the risk that the threads could strip and let the brake detach from the fork. The solution is a longer recessed Allen nut. No failures or injuries have been reported. The affected bikes sold for $3,200 to $4,500 and include the Six 13 Team 1, Six 13 Team1/Compact Drive, Synapse Carbon SL1 compact Si crank and standard bottom bracket Dura-Ace crank. If you have one, stop riding it and contact a Cannondale dealer. Dealers have been provided with the serial numbers of the affected bikes.
