SRAM LLC is recalling about 24,000 10 Speed SRAM Bicycle Chains with PowerLock connector links. The recalled PowerLock connector links, used on bicycle chains, are brittle and can crack, allowing the chain to separate from the bicycle and posing a fall hazard to the rider.

The recall involves SRAM PowerLock connector links, which are sold individually, on 10-speed bicycle chains and as original equipment on some bicycles. The recalled PowerLock connector links are identified by a date code of M or N, which is on the side of the PowerLock connector link. Ten-speed SRAM chains that were equipped with recalled PowerLock connector links include the following chain model numbers: PC-1030, PC-1050, PC-1070, PC-1090 and PC-1090R. The recalled chains also were installed on some Guru, Surly, Salsa, BMC, Serotta, Seven and Ridley brand complete bicycles. The individual PowerLock connectors and bike chains with these connectors were sold from January through August 2009; bicycles with affected chains were sold from April through August 2009.

Specialty bicycle retailer stores nationwide sold the items from January through August. PowerLock connector links were sold separately for about $5 or as part of 10-speed chains for between $35 and $85.

Consumers should contact their SRAM retailer for a free replacement PowerLock connector link. For more information, call SRAM toll-free at 1-800-346-2928 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday or visit the firm's Web site at www.sram.com.
