SRAM is recalling approximately 7,000 Avid SD7 bicycle mechanical rim brakes because a rivet in the brake assembly can loosen or come off. This defect can cause the brakes to fail while riding, posing a serious crash hazard. These brakes were sold individually at specialty bike stores and were also installed as original equipment on ElliptiGO model 11R elliptical cycles sold between June 2014 and May 2017. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled brakes and contact SRAM for a free replacement and installation instructions.
