6800, that's a lot of bikes, right? I wonder how much something like that costs!!
Balls.
I've a 5.2.
*awaits UK recall*
Hang on. I'm in a Trek dealer. Just had the email come through.....
Its not the bike, it's the front brake - The Bontrager Speed limit on these models
[i]A small number of 2013 Trek bicycles were made with an attachment bolt on the front brake quick-release that can loosen. This could allow the cable clamp to detach and potentially result in the loss of use of the front brake of the bicycle. If this happens, the rider could have difficulty stopping the bicycle.
The affected models are listed below.
To ensure the safety of your customers, please check your inventory to see if you still have any affected models in stock. If you do, please hold this inventory until it has been repaired.
Model year 2013
Model (both standard and WSD, including Project One)
Madone 5.2
Madone 5.9
Madone 6.2
Madone 6.5
Madone 7.7
Madone 7.9[/i]
Show us a picture of the bolt then. 🙂
Recall because they're tainted with epo? 😀
[s]what the details for UK? (same as that US link?)[/s]
EDIT: Details edited in after I posted..
M8's just put together bike using a Madone frameset, he'll be gutted as he's yet to ride it (but supposedly safe and sound).
*awaits UK recall*
what the details for UK?
The official line:
[i]We will notify consumers by sending a letter and an email notification to each owner of an affected bicycle who registered his or her bicycle with us. Further, we will post notice of this recall on our consumer web site at www.trekbikes.com.
Consumers will be directed to bring their bicycle to a retailer for repair. We have ordered replacement front brakes and they will be shipped to you on an as-needed basis to repair consumers’ bicycles.
In addition, we will prepare posters to alert consumers who come into your store. Posters will be sent as soon as they are completed. Please post them in a prominent location in your store(s) for at least 120 days.

Yep, looks like it's UK Madones too. But you don't have to send your bike back- just take it in to a Trek dealer

If I were that Czech Singletrek lot I'd be suing Trek for devaluing my brand.
Recall because they're tainted with epo?
I thought it was because they were too bland 😉
just take it in to a Trek dealer
Any Trek dealer? My LBS, where I bought mine from, has gone bust 🙁
m8 appreciated for the info, wouldn't necessarily have come across it otherwise - he'll ring the shop tomorrow.
Any Trek dealer?
Yep. They should have no problem at all doing any Trek weather they sold it or not 🙂
