My rear wheel quick release broke on my older (pre 2010) mountain buggy duo. I ordered a new wheel, which is for the newer models, so it doesn't fit correctly, but I read that I can remove the quick release mechanism (this is actually what's broken) and put it in the original wheel so that it fits properly. How do you get the quick release mechanism out? I've tried pinching it together, and I'm not sure if I just need more force to push it through.

Alex,
You may try removing the wheels, cleaning all dirt and debris from the axel and the wheel, coating both the axel and inside of the wheel with silicone spray. If the axel is badly pitted from the dirt rubbing against it, you can use some emery cloth to smooth it back out before putting the wheel back on.

We had the same problem!!! Unless you have a receipt the company will not stand behind their product. You can ship it to their main office and it will be fixed but they'll charge you for the shipping, part and labor -- not worth it. I'll never recommend this stroller to anyone -- it such a cheap brake design for a $700 stroller. Disgusting.

SOURCE: I have a mountain buggy that needs repairing

There is an official Mount Buggy Spare Parts supplier and service agent based in Sydney, Australia called Karlisles. I'm not sure which country you are in.

In case it helps their details are:

www.karlisles.com.au
1300 308 435

Alternatively, a good bicycle shop in your local city can usually supply these parts and service jogging prams.

Hope this helps
