A shattering experience – A post-recall, R-Sys wheel failure
Editor’s Note: VeloNews is not a safety agency. On occasion, bicycle products being tested by VeloNews editors suffer structural failure — saddles break, spokes snap and even crank arms crack. We often do not report such issues as they can be caused by rider error or a manufacturing anomaly, or because the failure happens in a safe way, such as a broken spoke simply causing a wheel to go out of true. Ben Delaney’s experience doesn’t fall into that latter category and he thought it important to let his fellow cyclists know about it.
