Again I want to be clear: I am not a Tern fanboy. I am in the process of making a video documenting how bad folders actually are compared to what they advertise to a newbie like myself. But I also don't think it's justified to panic over 17 failures that were built over 4 years ago without issues since out of the thousands they've made. That's not logic, that's paranoia.
Create an account and read http://www.ternbicycles.com/us/forum...e-shearing-two it is the same thread

Thanks,
Yan
