Hazard

The product presents a risk of injuries, as the locking rings within the adapters can loosen over time and detach from the braking system. This could result in reduced or even no braking performance, which could lead to the rider falling from the bicycle and becoming injured. The product does not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005.

Remedy

The manufacturer has initiated a modification programme, and has contacted customers to arrange a free replacement adapter. Owners should stop using the product until the adapter has been replaced. Owners with queries concerning the corrective action should contact their registered dealer.
