Are these the dreaded fx400 ball joint that were recalled? They sure look like they are made from aluminum? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Cannondale-...=item3a5821b7e3

I didn't know it was because they were aluminum but those are the ones from the bulletin.

You know I'll bet those were built with conical washers in them and had the wear surface been made out of steel instead they would last better than the steel ones that replaced them. The newer ones have nothing to take up the slight amount of wear so once they become a smidge loose the pound the wear surface out and fail rapidly.

Its amazing what you can buy on ebay. I bet if you put dog poo in a bag and offered it on ebay, someone would buy it.

Why would anyone pay for fake dog poop, when the original stuff is free?
