Wanted to start a thread for the Bugaboo Bee 2011 wheel problems.
We had already requested a fix, but I got an email from Bugaboo last week saying that this problem has arisen as a result of the fix for the shimmying wheels issue.
I see this as a safety issue. Say you're crossing the road and your front wheel turns sideways and won't swivel. Your buggy stops dead. Let's hope the approaching car also stops!
Our independent retailer is liaising with Bugaboo for us about it. New wheels were supposed to be coming to fix it, but now I'm doubting that will be a good enough fix. It seems to be widespread.
Bugaboo's email promised to communicate the proposed solution this/next week. Which tells me they didn't have a solution at the time of sending the email. Will a quickly-thrown-together fix be good enough, or will that break too?
I'd be gutted if I had to get a refund as, apart from this, I love my Bee! We had a Cameleon before but the Bee is far better suited to our needs, and so much more compact. I wouldn't go back to a Cam.
Anyone else having this issue? Seems to only be for Bees made in 2011.
