– Low friction replacement brake cable (2350 mm) – bag of 10

We’re waiting to hear back from Gore as to what affected riders should do and will update here as soon as we do. In the meantime, check with the retailer where you purchased the cables.

You do know, right, that this recall has been in effect for over 2 weeks? VeloNews reported it January 13. Everyone should report recalls, but hopefully everyone will do so in a timely fashion.
