A few more trips and a spinner wheel on the same bag completely broke off - bag came out in PVG with a screw sticking out. That was the first leg of 2 week long multidestination trip so a missing wheel was a significantr inconvenience.

A am sure I'll be able to get it fixed now that i am back home but i have increasing doubts about reliability of B&R... Or perhaps spinners in general - if the entire weight of packed bag drops on one wheel during baggage handling the likelihood of damage is probably quite high...
