It's now a year since the QR/disk brake problem hit the headlines, and I
thought some of you might be interested in hearing how the manufacturers
are dealing with it.

....or not, as the case appears to be.

Have you contacted someone like Watchdog (UK consumer affairs program, for
the non-UK readers on the x-post) to see if they are interested. There has
been a reasonable amount of publicity /within the interested groups/, which
are, unfortunately, regarded as a weird minority by the public, but your
average Joe Punter who buys a supermarket y-frame full-sus brick won't have
read this, and poor though they may be, discs are starting to appear on
these - and the users may not know (how) to check that their QRs are tight.
