MacLean Quality Composites, d.b.a. Reynolds, of West Jordan, Utah and the CPSC are recalling approximately 330 Reynolds UL Bicycle Forks. The forks were distributed by Quality Bicycle Products, of Bloomington, Minn. and Security Bicycle Accessories, of Hempstead, N.Y.


The fork tips could separate from the fork legs, causing the wheel to come loose from the fork while riding. This could pose a serious fall hazard to riders. No injuries have been reported.


This recall involves the Reynolds UL bicycle fork models with 43 mm and 50 mm rakes and with serial numbers 09100 through 10403. The serial number decal is located on the steer tube. To see the serial number, the fork must be removed from the frame. Some recalled forks are black, have “Reynolds” printed on them, and have a gray and white stripe painted on the legs of the fork. Other recalled forks were painted with a different paint scheme and do not have “Reynolds” printed on them.

The forks were sold at independent bicycle retailers nationwide from October 2006 through May 2007 for about $500. The recalled forks were included in custom 2007 bicycle frame kits from Independent Fabrication, Litespeed, Lynskey Performance Designs LLC., Merlin, Parlee, Rock Lobster, Spectrum Cycles, Strong Frames and Vicious Cycles and were manufactured in the U.S.
