Subject: [OBRA Chat] aero bar recall
Not that I read this stuff all the time, but . . .
Mark Ginsberg
Profile-Design LLC, of Long Beach California, is voluntarily recalling
about 8,400 "aero bars" used on racing bicycles. The aero bars allow
riders to ride in an aerodynamic crouching position. The brackets that
attach the aero bars' forearm pads, where riders rest their arms, can
loosen or separate during use, causing the rider to lose control and
crash.
TM and "Carbon Stryke" TM aero bars. The Carbon X aero bar is a
complete
bicycle handlebar and stem system, and includes the writing "Profile
Design"
and "Carbon X." The Carbon X aero bars were sold from August 1999
through
November 2001 for about $349, and the Carbon Stryke aero bars were sold
from
May 1999 through November 2001 for about $139. Consumers should stop
using
the recalled aero bars immediately.
