Just read this about Trek...

Buddy of mine gets his brand new Trek Madone 5.2 last night. Being without a bike for 5 days due to a crash he was seriously pumped to ride. He gets in about 10 miles and starts complaining about his front brake locking up. We pull over and start looking at and discover the wheel is wobbly. Upon further inspection we find that the two dropouts are no longer bonded to the carbon fork legs! Were the ever? Upon releasing the brake the entire wheel with dropouts attached falls to the ground. Of course when he took it back to the LBS (a fairly big Trek dealer) their line was "we've never seen anything like this before". Querying a few other shops revealed this is more common than the Trek dealer admits. On the very bright side my pal avoided what could have been a serious disaster had the wheel come off on our planned route, a busy road where we hammer over 30mph.
