Couple stuck in Hanover - Charity Ride

[Koos Likkewaan 2]

Hi There. Hope someone can help.

We have a couple doing a Charity ride for their school from Gauteng to Cape Town on a Tandem.

They are currently stuck in Hanover with 2 broken spokes. Struggling to find anything from Hanover to De Aar.

What are the chances of a hubber in the area, or who knows someone in the area that can assist with 2 spokes ?

This is urgent, if someone can assist.

This is a serious longshot by perhaps try MC Ellis se Vietswinkel in Beaufort West. Yes, they are 250km down the N1, but people in that part of the world like to make a plan. They might know somebody who is driving north and can take a few spokes on their way.

bit late now, but 2 broken spokes can be macguyvered.

obviously it would help to know but let's assume it is a disc brake wheel, which is even less of a hassle.

probably also high spoke count like 34
