Hey thanks for that great reply, donnamb !! There is a place that
sells them close by to me (an hour away) and I am going to go look just out of curiousity.......These purpose built euro-kommuters are so cool
in that everything you need you have from the start. After a winter
of riding a cassette bike and switching mid winter to a fix because of it being impossible to keep up with the cleaning, a hub gearbox sounds great ! Ive only heard about the 'clicking' sound from other Breezer
posts in a search......I cant imagine a bike of this quality would have
a serious issue. Ive had other new bikes that required greasing to get
a click away so I think its an assembly issue moreso than anything else. Remember, humans do that part

Oh yeah...99% of the time you DO NOT need to remove the wheel to
fix a flat. Just pop the bead on one side and wiggle the tube out.
If its a puncture you can patch and restuff with the wheel on
the bike. Saves a little time !

Not yet.....you will . Give it about 20 years If you are riding a fixed IRO right now Miss Cleo see a wack bike fo you in da future, Mahn (this isnt meant to be bad !)
