Kmart Huffy recall
Was just taking a few moments to browse through ministerial
statements and I found a statement about recall on Huffy "Fashion Days" bikes sold only at Kmart. Apparently the brakes do not comply with standards. Recall was in early Jan (I think, and the statement was mid Jan), when I was away, so sorry if this has already been posted. See http://tinyurl.com/25mlr3 for details. Tam |

The statement was actually to give a big thumbs-up to the guy who reported though, and to everyone's "quick response". Tam |

Tam I was more caught up by the author of the media statement than the content... "Minister for Tourism, Fair Trading, Wine Industry Development and Women"... what on earth are you people voting for in Qld :-) -- Bean "I've got a bike You can ride it if you like It's got a basket A bell that rings And things to make it look good I'd give it to you if I could But I borrowed it" Pink Floyd Remove "yourfinger" before replying |

I was taking the front wheel off to put it in the car and noticed that it doesn't have lawyer lugs on the front drop-outs. The bike is only a year or so old (it's an Avanti Blade Comp) and I thought that all bikes had to have these extra bits of metal to get in the way.

See http://tinyurl.com/25mlr3 for details. A K-Mart bike showed up at the LBS the other day when I was there. The front wheel wasn't turning too well, but you get that when you use the cone locknuts instead of the wheel nuts to attach the wheel to the fork... The fork was visibly squished to do it too. Funnier though was the owner had actually come in because he thought the spokes on the rear wheel were too loose and wanted them tightened up. -- www.ozcableguy.com www.oztechnologies.com |
