N. E. Indiana Breakdown
Hey Guys, I'm traveling cross country on a Cagiva Gran Canyon and just threw a rear wheel bearing.
 I'm holed up in a motel Markle Indiana, near Huntington. Found a bike shop nearby that says he can help me if I can get the bearing. I've got a size / part number (i think) Does anyone know of a bearing shop in this area? Thanks in advance for any advice / help.

Good deal. Do you have a ride lined up to Fort Wayne? I know there are a few inmates from that area who may chime in with offers if they see this.
How are those Bud's going down?  Hope you get back on the road soon and if you need anything else hit me up, I'll do what I can.

Buds, 3 down 3 to go. Go Eagles. I think I can get a ride, one of the people at the motel offered, for a fee of course.

Offering assistance
I sent you a private message with my phone number. I can help but it will be later in the morning. If you have the part number, I can pick up the bearing and bring it to you. Call if you still need assistance. If it turns out Motion doesn't have the correct bearing, maybe I can help find it. I have a few contacts around here.

Just wanted to let you guys know I got everything sorted out this morning. Joy's Cycle repair nearby Markle had the bearings in stock and has repaired my wheel for me, 44.95 total. I paid a guy here at the motel 10 bucks for the lift out there. Once again the kindness and help of strangers comes through for a traveller.
If any of you guys need any bike repair in this part of the world Eastern Indiana / Western Ohio, call Jim at Joy's, 260-758-2754. He's about 15 miles south of Ft Wayne in the country. He has an immaculate shop and was just as nice a guy as you could hope to meet. Thanks Jim. I'll post a picture sometime later on the trip. I'm back in the rooad in 30min. Cheers, R
