Brits warned to ‘stop using’ popular bicycle NOW due to defective brakes which pose ‘risk of injury’

BRITS have been warned to “stop using” a popular bicycle immediately – due to defective brakes which could pose a “risk of injury”.

The hazard arises from “locking rings” within the adapter that can become loose over time.

These could then detach from the braking system – causing it to malfunction.

The recall applies to all Simplon Bicycles fitted with SwissStop Centerlock Adapter Sets.
