Bicycle Wear & Tear

Brampton Bike & Ski In Gladestone, MI

Fargo, ND - We are seeing wear and tear on our bicycles as we carry heavy loads over a longer distance. Yesterday Greg broke another spoke on his rear wheel so today we stopped at Brampton Bike & Ski in Gladestone, WI to replace the broken spoke. Also, while the shop mechanic was doing some fine tuning on Drew's bike he noticed a crack in Drew's rear wheel. No bike shop in the area had a replace wheel so we are continuing our ride on a cracked wheel for the next 400 miles to Minneapolis, MN where we can get a replacement wheel!
