Replacement of Carbon Handlebar Pre-Structure on Porsche BikesUpgrade of Porsche Mountain Bikes
Stuttgart.
The existing handlebar pre-structure may possibly break on the mountain bikes involved due to a deficiency in the production process. To exclude this risk, all connection pieces made of carbon are being replaced by an aluminium handlebar pre-structure.
The carbon saddle support is also being replaced by an aluminium unit on 521 of these mountain bikes. This is required only on the FS Evolution model built between August 1997 and July 1999, where the lower section of the saddle support clamp may fail to rest properly on the saddle support head. This exerts a certain load on the saddle support head while riding, possibly making the head crack and ultimately suffer a fracture.
