Cannondale Bicycle Corp. has announced the recall of roughly 1,480 1-X bicycle suspension seat posts that were installed on various 2005 model year Cannondale brand bicycles. The recall involves Lee Chi model 1-X bicycle suspension seat posts. Lee Chi is also known as Promax, but the seat posts are not marked with either name. The bicycles featuring these seat posts were sold at authorized Cannondale dealers nationwide in December 2004 for about $800 to $1,600.
The seat posts may have been improperly manufactured, which could cause the seat post to fail prematurely. A failure could lead to a crack in the bicycle seat post, which may cause the rider to fall or crash. No incidents or injuries reported.
