Its OK if you don't like the FS. I happen to love mine and have 10,476.9 mi (says Strava) trouble free miles on a '17 Roubaix comp that will be 2 years old on Monday. Already got the call from the shop and will get the replacement collar on Tuesday. Now the original wheels were crap but as an old-ish (51) biggish (6'3", 205lb) guy who is very bothered by handlebar vibration, I expect to have some form of micro-suspension on the front end of my bikes for the rest of my life. You (any of you) don't have to, but I don't get why the haters are so religious about the FS. If you don't want one, don't get one.

As to the recall, I also spoke to Spz and the rider care rep said that supposedly there were 5-6 instances where cracks were discovered during maintenance, but there have been no crashes or injuries. Not sure if they would admit it if there were if they didn't have to, but that is what they said. I added about 15 miles since the recall and will ride it in for the service next week weather permitting.
