Gore Recalls Ride-On Bicycle Brake Cables Due to Fall Hazard | CPSC.gov
My initial impression was that Al Gore must have fallen off while riding a bicycle and become entangled in the brake cables and later given an account of it.
I was wrong.
As far as I can tell, Campagnolo CPSC compliance entailed covering brake wheel guides with rubber, putting a lip on the NR front derailleur which necessitated 2mm BB spindle length increase, putting rubber around the rear derailleur limit screws and something about a domed nut on something. Maybe there were other compliance actions, but these are the ones that people have written about and, thusly, turn up on cursory searches. I won't comment on the aesthetics. But as mandated safety compliance issues, these all seem sort of trivial. But, maybe the leading edge of the old style NR front derailleur caused a train derailment or something, who knows?
