Surly recall
Postby Boognoss » Fri Sep 10, 2010 11:54 am
Surly bike recall
The Surly Crosscheck and the Surly Long Haul Trucker bikes sold between February 2006 and August 2010 have been recalled in Australia and should not be ridden. Owners should contact the dealer immediately because 'failure of the brake cable could result in the cable impacting the tyre and this may potentially lead to loss of control and possible injury.
Some bicycles may not be fitted with a brake cable catch hook to the cantilever brakes'.
Consumers should contact the store of purchase or Dirt Works Australia Pty Ltd. via email - warranty@dirtworks.com.au or phone 02-9679-8400

Agree. I should be panicking that my CX bike doesn't have one of these hook things that I've never seen......alchemist wrote:Thus demonstrating the absurdity of the Australian Standard.

I think that's why Shimano developed those awful fixed length cantilever brake straddles - to avoid the problem of a brake cable snapping and the trad straddle catching on a knobby tire. I've got them on my home made tandem for that reason but they really compromise the stopping power of the brakes.Boognoss wrote:Agree.

but really, that's rubbish. We get none of it because the choices are illusory.

What do you do with 'em? Are they to give to the surgeon to set your bones after the accident?Aushiker wrote:Hi

They're reflector mounts which go on the brake bridge and fork. The idea is that they will stop the straddle cable from catching on the tyre if the main brake cable breaks.drubie wrote:What do you do with 'em? Are they to give to the surgeon to set your bones after the accident?
