Bikes are toys

Yikes. Bikes are not toys they are vehicles like anything else. A badly designed and manufactured vehicle will kill and maim people and cycles are no different

But they recalled the bikes and replaced them when the problem was identified. Which is a mechanism put in place as a means of protection. And one of the exact reasons you buy a name brand that comes with brand protection and warranty, which adds to the final cost of the part you're purchasing.

As far as I am aware, Cannondale warranty doesn't bring a dead person back to life.

Was the bike tested to whatever standards are required?

Was the fault due to poor engineering, poor tooling or poor QC?

1/10000 ain't great but it's better than the Eurofighter and isn't this the slag Hambini off thread? Actually what's the Eurofighter got to do with anything? Do androids dream of electric sheep?
