But are forks, wheels and frames going thru a "safety approved USA federal standard" process? Also note, standards are just that, standards. Every product out there hasn't been proven to pass the standard. Hey, I'd love it, if there was helmet testing so that we'd not just know a specific model passed a standard, but by how much it exceeded the standard. Plenty of regs and standards exist for car companies, but we all know that recalls happen, and some for quite dangerous flaws.
