Recall: Fox 32 and 34 Evolution Series Forks

[AUbicycles]

This just in from Bike Europe:

Fox Factory faced technical problems with their Evolution mountain bike suspension forks. The suspension fork's damper cylinder/piston can separate and cause the front wheel to detach. The recall includes 12,500 units made in the US.

The recalled suspension forks are model year 2013, 32 and 34 Evolution Series with 120mm to 160mm of travel. The recalled forks can be identified by the serial number, which is found on the underside of the crown after removing the front wheel. Serial number can be checked on http://www.ridefox.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

The forks were sold as original equipment on model year 2013 bikes of BMC, Cannondale, Commencal, Diamondback, GT, Kona, Lapierre, Norco, Orbea, Raleigh, Rocky Mountain, Santa Cruz, Scott, Specialized and Trek.

A small quantity of suspension forks were sold to retailers or distributors as aftermarket accessories. Consumers are urged to stop using the bicycles with recalled Fox Factory suspension forks and bring them to the place of purchase for a free repair.

Lucky I have 2012 100mm travel Fox forks.

That is what the report from Bike Europe said, there have been a lot of high profile companies with major recalls of late.

You reckon? Myself and a couple of mates have 2008 and 2011 100mm Fox forks this year and all have been subject to warranty repairs due to manufacturing faults. If your forks haven't seen an authorised Fox repairer then I suggest you make a booking.

Really. I meet have to check my serial numbers on my 2009 set too.

Fox Forks are like iphones, There nice while they work.
But they break easy and there expensive to fix.....


Has anyone got a fox fork that doesnt creak on hard hits?
I've contacted Sola multiple times but they've never replied to my emails...

Hmmph.

I thought Fox were supposed to be the gold standard. Makes Cannondale look positively bulletproof.

Don't say that! I'm thinking of moving my Fox forks across to my Cannondale!!
