After a very long wait, we finally received the new front hub for our tandem yesterday. We had to replace this, because we wanted an additional disc brake on the front wheel. Since such 40-spoke tandem hubs for disc brakes can not just be taken off the shelf, we first had to wait until this was produced for us and shipped to New Zealand.
Thanks to the once again super good and fast work of Bicycle Business in Colombo Street in Christchurch our tandem is equipped with an additional disc brake one day later. Bicycle Business has served us very well from the advice to the order to the service and all special requests, we can highly recommend this bike store!
Tomorrow we will pick up our campervan and take the ferry to the North Island on Friday morning.
