"I wasn't exactly eager to ride it until fixed either. I understand the chance of failure is slim, but none the less for some of my riding situations it can be very serious injury, I am not exactly cruising along in the local park."

I agree that liability is their big concern and knew they would take the bike as soon as I brought it in. If I really had intended to keep it out of their grip I would not have brought it to the store. I hope my LBS is as fast as yours was BC. Sounds like they took good care of you. Recently I rode in one of the local metrics which was very hilly. I hit my top speed ever on the DS going down a particularly steep section (43 MPH according to bike computer). I ran out of pedal and had to just coast from the mid point on. That definitly came to mind when I heard about the recall. Still, the weather is in the mid 80s this week and I am missing the bike. If they don't have it back to me by next week I might have to go shopping!
