What happened

Rolf Prima Inc. is recalling certain rear bicycle wheels from 2003 Vigor and Elan wheel sets sold as front and rear pairs. The freehub mechanism on the rear wheel can malfunction and stop providing pedaling resistance, which could cause a rider to lose balance, fall, and suffer injuries. Only the rear wheel is affected in these sets, which can be identified by the model name printed on the rim.

The affected wheels have serial numbers between 03926 and 06586, with the serial number located on the rim under the yellow rim tape. To determine if your wheels are included in the recall, you should contact your local bicycle retailer for an inspection. If your wheels are affected, the retailer will provide a free repair, with repair kits becoming available within 6 to 8 weeks.
