Cannondale Recalls More Than 11,000 CAADX Bikes

The front forks may be prone to snapping, posing a potentially deadly threat.

I'll just leave this here...

So according to the article we shouldn't doubt a rider who says his carbon fork broke while he was "just riding along" because there can be hidden damage from a previous stressor. EEK!

And Cannondale is replacing 11,000+ forks even though their testing did not find anything wrong. BTW, the new replacement forks are lighter

>>PSA industry standard warning that ‘A crash or other impact can put extraordinary stress on bicycle components,


Ok, does this mean one changes a fork after most every race?

I had one of these bikes, broke it down and sold it off to a guy when I was stationed in Japan. I received the notification and can't seem to reach him again, I can only hope he see's this online somewhere.
