hi guys
we are touring around Asia for last 5 months and finnaly it has happened - some f***er drove through my bike and my front wheel is gone :-(

sending a new one from Europe it's not a big problem, but the price of doing this is ... well ... a MAJOR problem :-(

so ... what I need it's a new rim and somebody able to make a new wheel (the hub and 30 spokes are still good :-)

help help help :-)

Underway in Switzerland

Hi there,
I never was in INdia, but as they have bicycles there, why don't you buy a whole wheel? The front wheel is not so critical, so a cheap one is sufficient. Normaly you can't use the old spokes, because often the rim diameter for the spokes differs from rim to rim. And in Germany everybody says it is cheaper to buy the whole wheel, as handcraft is expensive, Ok India is another story.
Try to look if you can't find a shop via the website of a bike manufacturer, they should have a dealer in India.
