Total Recall: Crap bikes on their way back to the turd factory


There are two bike-related recalls you should know about today.


  • Formula Oro disk brakes are being recalled due to a defective lever which can break.

  • Also, about 22,000 Huffy bikes have been recalled -- not for just being butt ugly, surprisingly enough-- but due to a dynacrappy crank that can detach itself from the bike.

  • The fact that there are 22,000 "Howler" and "Highland" models in the USA is certainly cause for great concern. It's a wonder all models created by Huffy aren't recalled on general principle for being complete garbage.
