Consumer Description

AS I WAS DECELERATING FOR A TURN I FELT A SHUDDER AND HEARD A GRINDING NOISE AND LOST REAR WHEEL BRAKING. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND UPON EXAMINATION OF THE REAR WHEEL DISCOVERED THAT THE REAR BRAKE DISC WAS SEPARATED FROM THE BRAKE MOUNTING FLANGE. EACH OF THE FIVE MOUNTING HOLES HAD FAILED AND ALLOWED THE DISC TO SEPARATE. THE REAR WHEEL IS ALSO BOLTED TO THIS FLANGE. SUBSEQUENT RESEARCH HAS REVEALED THAT THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON PROBLEM. MY FEELING IS THAT THIS TYPE FAILURE COULD CAUSE A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE SINCE IT INVOLVES A FAILURE AT SPEED AND RELATES TO THE REAR WHEEL AND REAR BRAKE MOUNTING FLANGE. DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE! *TR
