As my 4 year old son and I were riding my Kronan around Copenhagen today on a nice trip around the capital of Denmark, this happened to my front wheel on my bike, as we were riding downhill, pretty fast. By luck we did not crash, but managed to stay on the bike and stop it eventhough the wheel were split in half, the innertube shredded and the tire not atached to my wheel anymore. It was an extreme unpleasant situation and my knees where shaking afterwards, I would'nt dare to think about what would have happened to my son if we crashed. I have always seen Swedish products as reliable, strong products (volvo's and Saab) but aparantly not Kronan. The same thing happened to my rear wheel back in july, but I realy thought at was something that would not happen again..
So do youself a favour and never buy a Kronan. This one is one year old.
