Daily snapshot data starts accumulating once the scheduler runs — for now this is interpolated from the agency's first/last dates.

What is this? These are bicycle wheels made by SWISS SIDE. The rim may split apart on its own, making the wheel unsafe.

What's happening? Some wheels are breaking in a way that weakens them. This could cause a crash.

Does this affect me? If you own SWISS SIDE wheels bought in Poland, Bulgaria, Denmark, Ireland, or Portugal, you may be at risk.

What should I do? Stop using the wheel and ask your bike shop or a mechanic for help. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you were hurt.
