The Cannondale Bicycle corporation is recalling 1,300 bicycle sold since October because they're missing the plastic spoke protector discs on the rear wheel.
Although no falls or injuries have been reported to Cannondale, the discs are required to prevent a poorly adjusted chain from shifting into the rear-wheel spokes and causing a sudden stop.
The Cannondale “Six” model bikes with the missing discs are Six 5 Compact, Six 5, Six 5 Compact, Six 6, Six 6 Triple, Six Carbon 5, Six Carbon 5 Compact and Six Carbon 6 Compact.
The bikes were sold from October 2008 through February 2009 for between $1,500 and $2,100 at authorized Cannondale dealers.
Cannondale and the Consumer Product Safety Commission consumers stop riding the bikes immediately and bring them in to an authorized Cannondale dealer for repair.
For additional information, contact Cannondale at (800) 245-3872 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or visit Cannondale’s Web site at www.cannondale.com.
