No confirmation bias there!
Just thinking now. Wonder how many forks Cannondale tested and couldn't find anything? Did they really thoroughly screen 1,000? (That would give them about a 63% chance of finding a bad one, assuming uniform failure probability.) If it were a manufacturing defect that's so far affected 0.1% of production, even if it were possible to screen out defects (that have probably grown from initial defects over the past seven years); what're your odds of getting a good fork if you take the replacement offered as part of the recall? What are the odds of giving up a perfectly good fork and getting a flawed fork in exchange?
I'm liking the steel forks on my current bikes. With rim brakes.
