Koos Likkewaan 2 Posted October 3, 2023 Share 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. https://beaufortwest.net/information/beaufort-west-business-directory/bicycles.html Prince Albert Cycles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might have been in touch with them already. They are getting them from BW tomorrow morning, then on with their journey !
