Get The Sandwiches Ready GSA Rear Wheel Collapse - Part 3!

Mr Bean said:
A catastrophic wheel failure with no warning, that rips the caliper off. I would suspect that the stability would deteriorate noticeably well before a wheel would collapse?

My post #101 in this thread describes the feeling I got from my GSA prior to the bike being taken in by Bahnstormer and the rear wheel being replaced and some spokes in the front wheel being re-tensioned

The point is that I only knew my new GSA felt wrong because I'd had a 2016 model GSA previously. Frankly if I was new to a GSA I must just have put it down to the character of the bike and ridden on blithely until one or other wheel collapsed. Having had a new rear wheel and re-tensioning of the front wheel spokes, the bike now feels a lot more planted and hopefully if I start to feel the bike behaving as before, I will know what is happening

I think BWM should start thinking of a recall, or maybe they need a death first.
 
Well its official the Puma is out in the USA for the wheels, probably recall not far away, so that must be Europe also, unless they are more scared of a USA lawsuit.
 
Then if I only found 6 or so loose i’d make sure that at least another 4 were loosened before I called the dealer!

Hmm, good point. How many with tatty wheels will now loosen some, then get a free one under warranty? :augie
