Hed Cycling is recalling about 380 Ardennes Black and Jet Black bicycle rims because the rim surface can cause brake pads to wear down much faster than expected. This defect can lead to brake failure, and the firm has already received six reports of accelerated brake pad wear. These high-performance rims were sold both individually and in sets at authorized dealers nationwide between January 2016 and March 2016. Affected consumers should immediately stop using these rims and contact the company for a free replacement.
The texture or material of the rim causes brake pads to erode prematurely during use. This can result in a sudden loss of braking power, posing a serious crash hazard to the rider.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled rims and contact HED Cycling for replacement instructions.
