Cervelo Fork recall notice

Last August, Cervélo SA announced a voluntary recall of the True Temper Wolf SL carbon fiber fork because of a potential safety issue involving the True Temper Wolf SL fork steerer which can crack and eventually break during normal use, causing the rider to lose control, fall and suffer serious injuries.

To date, we have replaced a significant percentage of the recalled forks, though there still are some recalled forks in the market. If you have a Wolf SL fork, please visit your nearest authorized Cervélo dealer immediately to have your fork swapped out for a free replacement. For many of you, this is the off season and an ideal time to have the replacement done!

If you are receiving this notice for a second time, we apologize. Your safety is our main concern, and we would like reach all customers with this fork and have them replaced as soon as possible. Replacements for the recalled True Temper fork are quickly available and we are sure you will appreciate the upgrade when you head out to start the 2009 season.

Please share this notice and web site with your friends, riding groups, clubs, an d any other Cervélo owners you know. We appreciate it.

For additional information, contact Cervélo Recall Hotline toll-free at 1-866-296-3137 between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit www.cervelo.com/WolfSLRecall

Club Meeting Feb 11 at Bike Doctor Frederick

Our next club meeting will be at our sponsor Bike Doctor of Frederick on Wed Feb 11 at 7PM.  I’ve asked Brian Wisowaty, the shop owner, if he or one of his folks will talk to the club about bike repairs you might need to do while racing.  This would include flats (clincher and tubular), small tire slice, chain problems, spoke breaks, CO2 catridges, etc.  Members may also share their experiences with what worked for them as well afterwards.

Folks interested in the club are welcome as well!

See you there!
