主要內容為告知Tikit車架可能有斷裂的危險！
請Tikit車主檢查，如果目前沒發現斷裂的跡象，BF仍會郵寄升級套件供補救；
如果發現有斷裂，請立即停止騎乘直到升級套件已安裝，確定安全無虞再騎！
Several tikitTM owners have reported a crack forming on their tikitTM frames that is potentially dangerous to the rider. DO NOT RIDE YOUR tikitTM UNTIL YOU HAVE CHECKED FOR THIS CRACK or HAD IT CHECKED AT A BIKE FRIDAY DEALER.
* If your tikitTM DOES NOT have a crack it is safe to ride. We will be mailing you an upgrade kit soon.
* If your tikitTM DOES have a crack then do not ride it until you get that piece replaced. See directions and pictures below.
There are two sites to check for a possible crack. Site #1 is right below the joint of the straight arm of the lower seat mast. It is the area we have had the most reports from. Site #2 is at the "keyhole" of the seat mast. We have only had 2 reports of a crack developing here out of all the tikitTM we have made.
The customers that have reported these cracks tend to be taller and/or heavier than average and ride their tikitTM a lot.
Bike Friday co-founder Alan Scholz has been riding his early 2007 tikitTM daily for commuting, as well as long (80+mile) tours through the mountains with 50mph descents, such as on Cycle Oregon last year. We destruction test our bikes, but also ride the *!@#* out of them ourselves!
Since we have found a potential safety issue please take it seriously and check your bike. The chances of your bike having this problem is very low but we don't want you to get hurt!
可能會斷裂的部位有二處：
１。在座管下方箭頭指示處：
The lower seat mast part of the tikitTM frame. Both Site #1 and Site #2 are on this part of your tikit
斷裂處特寫：
Potential crack site #1. The crack area is usually right below where the straight leg of the seat mast begins. This picture shows a crack there. We will be sending a special brace that can be easily installed on your tikit to prevent any crack forming in the future.
２。鎖座管縲絲處：
這張圖片並無斷裂，只是告知可能斷裂處，
較可能發現斷裂的車架主要是2009年4月20日以後所生產的。
Potential crack site # 2. This crack begins from the round hole and travels outward. There is no crack in this picture. The 2 cases that have been reported were traced back to a very unusual manufacturing process problem. We have made adjustments in our process to eliminate those factors.This change was made on tikitsTM built after April 20, 2009.
底下這張圖的說明為：（感謝changchieh大大的更正！）
意指這機器是可以產生座管斷裂的測試機器，就跟一些車主反映座管束斷裂的問題一樣，我想應該也是在座管束上施加一個crush的壓力，跟我們體重施加的方式一樣
This is the crusher machine specially built to reproduce the problems reported by our customers.
如果你的Tikit沒有斷裂，BF仍會郵寄升級套件至各車商供車主安裝。
* If you do not have a crack then you can safely ride your tikit until the safety upgrade arrives (we are sending it soon). Then you or your local dealer/bike shop can install the brace that will prevent any crack from happening in the future. It is a very simple and easy process.
如果你的Tikit有斷裂的痕跡，則可致電或email給BF，BF會特製一支新的座管給你。
* If you do have a crack then give us a call or e-mail and we will build you a replacement seat mast. 1-800-777-0258 or safetyupgrade@bikefriday.com
文後還說明了不同尺寸的Tikit有載重限制:
Ｓ號、Ｍ號：86公斤 / 190磅
Ｌ號：100公斤 / 220磅
如果車主體重超過100公斤，則需要升級套件，則可承重至118公斤/260磅
- Weight limit for Small and Medium tikitTM is 190lbs/86kg.
- Weight limit for Large tikitTM is 220lbs/100kg.
- If you are over these weight limits then you need a heavy rider upgrade available for up to 260lbs/118kg.
報告完畢，謝謝。
唉，我的車不在手邊，沒辦法檢查~~ 有點擔心啊....

趕緊check一下車車~
看來斷裂位置都集中在座管束附近，尤其右臂和鎖螺孔，可能是強度的問題
不過我想只要是印第安的車車應該都沒在怕的啦
有點小後悔~~

更正一下這張圖的意思，意指這機器是可以產生座管斷裂的測試機器，就跟一些車主反映座管束斷裂的問題一樣，我想應該也是在座管束上施加一個crush的壓力，跟我們體重施加的方式一樣
各位tikit的車友們注意一下這篇資訊嚕~
祝各位騎車平安

提供一下意見
2009年4月20日以後所生產的Tikit ，已改善了車架斷裂的因素。
所以就是說2009年4月20日以前的Tikit 有可能會發生車架斷裂。
那目前台灣所賣的Tikit 應該都是2009年4月20日 之前所生產的吧。
不知道代理商要全面召回更換，還是等到有問題再更換 ？
問一下大大是在原廠的網頁哪裡看到的，我找不到說。
