Bike touring sometimes requires you to be creative, especially if your bike breaks down and you can’t get access to the parts you need.
That’s what happened to Sonya & Aaldrik this year. They were bike touring in Brazil, when Sonya’s rim broke.
They wanted to re-use her old 32-spoke hub (much better quality than the ones in the shop) but the shop only had a 36-spoke rim. What to do? Make the two fit together, of course.
