kronan

I have had a major problem with my Kronan: two months ago the front wheel broke up in two longitudinally! I have desperately tried to find a new wheel, but to no use: Kronan has no distributor locally in Italy and when i contacted me they simply said: too bad, nothing we can do. Anyone knows if it is possible to get a spare at a decent price? front wheel, grey, brake in the hub. Thanks for your help, otherwise 400 euros will go down the drain

What's a Kronan and why won't just any old bicycle wheel work?

I thought that the European Union was designed to eliminate this kind of commercial Balkanization.

Why not just order one from Sweden? Are they telling you that they won't sell you one?

If it's your rim that broke take it to a bike shop and have them lace your hub to a new rim. Kronan uses 28" for the step-through model and 26" for the diamond frame.
