[#11873982]

Got a group of mates left Inverness and en route to Oban and ferry tomorrow lunchtime to Barra.

One rear hub just failed and trip could be over.

Anyone in Oban area able to help with a loan of a rear 29er wheel or any other ideas?

29er disc I need to find out specs. Just a plea for help in case might be possible. Week long trip could be scuppered.

If someone is driving to Oban from Speyside tomorrow morning, let me know. I can lend a wheel but can't get it there.

I’m in Inverness and worst case could drive but 5hr round trip. And I do have a wheel.

If a local solution emerges tonight even better.

It’s Swayndo think you know him SR.

I've suggested Barra Bike Hire - even if it's only to get a wheel.

I’ve signed up for an early start. Even if I can’t make the Heb tour, at least my rear wheel will!
