Riese & Müller have a problem with the steering cables on their Packster model. The problem being that the steering cable snaps.

It's only a voluntary recall, but with serious consequences if it fails.

The problem being that the steering damping is set too light, which if left un-fixed could cause the cables to loosen.

"cables snapping" made me wonder what on earth they were going to do with all their cable controlled bikes as I couldn't think of a workaround.

😂

I found out about it on a German cargo bike forum.

The poster said something about "Kabel ist durch", which could me snapped or just broken. My bad.
