So I'm supposed to be riding down in Shropshire at the Batch Burner this weekend, heading down on Friday. Just noticed that my rear wheel has lots of cracks on the spoke holes 😫

Appreciate I'm just some random bloke on the internet but I don't suppose anyone local(ish) has a 29er 148 boost rear wheel with a Shimano HG casette that they want to let me borrow for the weekend in exchange for some beer tokens or a donation to a charity of your choice?

You'd really be salvaging my weekend I've been looking forward to for a long time.

I've got an 11 speed cassette I'll transfer, along with brake disc and tyre. So just need the wheel.

Ok, got a Hope boost wheel you can use. I’m in Totley in Sheffield so will need to pick up from here if that works for you. I’m WFH today and tomorrow so can be flexible.

Massive thanks to tuboflard for lending me his rear wheel. The event was great and the views were lovely.

Just fitted a Silt wheel to replace the broken one. The turnaround between ordering and receiving the wheel was brilliant, if only I'd noticed a day earlier 😀.

One of the many cracks on th broken rim...
