Who the hell is Isaac?

Isaac and his two boys, Jacob & Esau, are high-end frame builders down in Canaan. I reckon Isaac may not be laughing now...

2009 has been a bad year for bike manufacturers so far... How many recalls does this make now?

Ain't no problems with carbon. ;)

Looks like the problem is limited to certain stem/steerer combinations, which can remedied by replacements.

Seems all the recalls have to do with the steerer tube...

Carbon does not seem to be the best material for them unless re-enforced with the compression plug or an insert...

Good to remember...
