Belgarath Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 So, @bicyclesafetysa tweeted this: http://gizmodo.com/a-simple-flaw-is-causing-a-huge-recall-of-1-3-million-b-1733678421 I checked mine, and at the front, with the 180 disc, the lever will actually make a mess if it were to disengage. I (almost) always check it for tightness, because I'm actually more scared of a wheel coming off. Anyone think it an issue?
Li Mu Bai Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Wheel can only come off if the QR has unwound itself a hell of a lot due the the "lawyers lips" on the fork dropouts.The QR lever pressing into the rotor is an issue.
velomonatiCT Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 why am I sure this is an old story being retold im sure I read this whole QR gets stuck in disk recall thing somewhere else ages ago maybe im just suffering from deja vu
Odinson Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 I'm pretty sure this was depicted in some cave painting in France.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Was a loooong time ago. Essentially only a problem though if you don't tighten the QR properly. Essentially a stupidity-filter.
Puncture Kid Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Ag please those Yanks are a bunch of clueless twats. Just insert the QR from the other side. FFS

Wayne Potgieter Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 1 broken finger! and for this there is a 1.3m bike recall. I've broken more bones loading my bike on my bike rack. Americans are such pissies.
droo Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 1 - if your front skewer comes loose on a bike with discs, you're in *** anyway. 2 - by show of hands, how many hubbers have had a skewer come loose while riding?
Belgarath Posted September 30, 2015 Author Posted September 30, 2015 That is actually my point, Droo. I can't remember it happening once. America is generally rather quick to jump onto these safety issues. Maybe because they don't know how to ride/maintain their bikes?

Maybe because they don't know how to ride/maintain their bikes? Mainly because you can sue the pants off anyone who doesn't make a product that's completely idiot proof. And considering the quality of the modern idiot that's quite a challenge. Darwinism is being legislated out of existence. If I were supreme ruler of the world I'd make warning labels illegal and let the problem sort itself out.

Exactly and if the skewer is in the way you wont be able to get going in the first place. Twats
Wayne Potgieter Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 If I were supreme ruler of the world I'd make warning labels illegal and let the problem sort itself out.i would vote for this
Pure Savage Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Surely they could just recall the skewer? If you do return your life threatening skewer, it should come with a free sign. I am Stupid please keep your distance
droo Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 i would vote for this If I were supreme ruler of the world you'd probably be on the (fairly short) list of people who would be allowed to...
