Component manufacturer SRAM is warning riders to be on the lookout for components without serial numbers. Such items could be counterfeit and potentially dangerous, SRAM claims.
This is just the latest incidence of fake bicycles and components that are costing the cycling industry millions.
A release posted to the company’s website states:
ADVERTISEMENT
“SRAM has seen a considerable increase in SRAM branded products sold online, in stores and on complete bikes with the product serial number scratched off.
Never ride products that appear to be from SRAM that have the product serial number scratched off. Products with a scratched off serial number could be potentially dangerous to use and are not covered by the SRAM warranty.
