Follow up: V2 Aero 150 Frame failure
You got a point, Birke, about their responsibility if a product is
defective to start! As they learn about product limit "suggestions" they need to notify all customers about them. And I suspect they should replace product for overweight skiers when they discover their product has a weight limit. What are recall standards anyway? Are all companies obliged to do recalls in certain cases? A recall might put them under. Do we want that? This weight limit AFTER the fact is a PAIN though. As for defective products: they have replaced known bad items with good ones. I think they believe the 2nd batch of wheels for instance is good but tricky to use, so they don't do a free replace automatically with those. But they did replace for free the first set. I got a free set no problem. So if we get them to admit that a frame break due to overweight by a skier who COULD NOT HAVE KNOWN this is a "defect" then I bet they'd start shelling out new frames. ESPECIALLY for those that break! This would not be NEARLY as painful to them as a full recall. I wouldn't return mine unless they break. Unless it's determined to truly be worth a total recall. I don't want to have a break cause a tumble I suppose. However, so far so good, so I will keep using mine. I suppose I'll check for stress, sags, etc. I plan on losing weight! : ) -- Jeff Potter **** *Out Your Backdoor * http://www.outyourbackdoor.com publisher of outdoor/indoor do-it-yourself culture... ...offering "small world" views on bikes, bows, books, movies... ...rare books on ski, bike, boat culture, plus a Gulf Coast thriller about smalltown smuggling ... more radical novels coming up! ...original downloadable music ... and articles galore! plus national "Off the Beaten Path" travel forums!
