Bicycle Owners – ‘Consumer Reports’
warning
More than 1.3 million bicycles from 13 major brands
including Cannondale, Diamondback and Specialized (but not limited to) that
were sold from 1998 through 2015 require repair because a quick-release lever
on the front wheel can open and come into contact with the brake rotor causing
the wheel to stop suddenly or to come off.
The bicycles were sold at bike shops nationwide in the price range from
about $200 to as much as $10,000.
What to do: Find out if your bike is involved
by going to <quickrelease-recall.com>. If it is then ask the manufacturer for a new
lever to be installed free of charge.
