I bought a Raleigh Cadent bicycle in June and it was recalled in August. I didn't even own it for 2 months before the recall and now it has been in the bike shop for almost 2 months waiting for Raleigh to send them the parts. Usually when there is a recall the company will offer you either a refund or a replacement product of equal value. Raleigh is not doing anything. If they can't get the replacement parts then they should offer a refund. I am tired of waiting for them to do something. I will never buy a Raleigh product again and I hope that anyone reading this will join me in boycotting their products. September, 29,2007
I am starting to get very upset with the Raleigh bicycle company. I bought a Raleigh Cadent
bicycle in June and it was recalled in August. I didn’t even own it for 2 months before the recall and now it has been in the bike shop for almost 2 months waiting for Raleigh to send
them the parts. Usually when there is a recall the company will offer you either a refund or a
replacement product of equal value. Raleigh is not doing anything. If they can’t get the
replacement parts then they should offer a refund. I am tired of waiting for them to do something. I will never buy a Raleigh product again and I hope that anyone reading this
will join me in boycotting their products.

There are more carbon manufacurers than you can count on your fingers and toes. Many of them are on the pacific rim. These forks were produced by Cabon Age. Not all of the forks made by Carbon Age are defective or bad. this recall affects about 1200 forks. There are many things that can go wrong during the production of such a product, it is labor intensive and requires the part to be constructed by hand, by a skilled technitian. even if the layup is perfect the resin could be defective or past shelf life, it could be a compaction (pressure issue) or temperature issue. so many variables. Not all carbon is created equal, even from the same producer. Mike;

I can't imagine there are really that many manufacturers of carbon forks in China---and don't the builders all use the same suppliers?
