Something is going wrong here folks. These people are putting parts out for sale that have not been adequately trialled and tested. Peoples lives are being put at risk.

TRP Spyre product recall: http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news/lat ... rakes.html

SRAM hydro brake recall: http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news/lat ... rakes.html

Shimano disc brake recall: https://www.cpsc.gov/en/Recalls/2013/Sh ... -Calipers/

TREK product recall: http://www.bikeradar.com/mtb/news/artic ... les-39304/

TIME TO STOP BUYING FAR EAST MANUFACTURED CRAP. AND TIME FOR BIKE MANUFACTURERS TO STOP PUTTING DEFECTIVE KIT ON THE BIKES THEY SELL.

What on earth is going on!?


This thread is going nowhere

Add the Trek recall for dodgy front brakes on the 2013 Madones.

Can you explain the Far East reference?

I would have thought because all of the above items are manufactured in the far east??
