Help save a trip for two guys from the UK

[Niall]

Hej! Firstly, so sorry for my lack of Swedish. My friend and I are over from London on a cycling trip around the Archipelago and his bikes just broken 90km int a ride. We’re near to Nynäshamn and need to be in Södertälje for our accommodation. Unfortunately his bike’s freehub body has shattered so there’s no hope of a quick fix…

We have 2 days left of riding which we’re hoping to do! appreciate it’s VERY unlikely but wondering if anyone here can help with a solution. Whether it’s a replacement wheel you could rent us, or a whole bike you could rent my friend for the two days. Very willing to pay good money to save the trip!!

Please can you WhatsApp me if you’re able to help? 07860883392

Any and all thoughts really welcome. Happy National Swedish day!

You can convert to a fixie using tiewraps between the cassette and spokes. Then you probably need to shorten the chain as well. I prefer riding single speed around Stockholm. Fixie is next (ultimate) level, but I know att least one local who does.
