Hi - I know it's a bit late in the day but you can actually get a cycling equivalent of AA/RAC. Members of the CTC (cyclists touring club) get free cycle breakdown cover.
ReplyDeleteAnyway hope that he is ok. Trouble with more powerful modern rim brakes is they do wear your rims through more quickly. I had a few wear out on my mountainbikes while it's only ever happened once on my road bikes.
Tell him to have a look at his rear rims too as his front has gone. The indicators are thin cracks in line with the rim and high and low spots that correspond to the spokes and the gaps between Spokes. The rim will feel high at same place as there is a spoke and low between spokes. Might be worth finding a bike shop in a biggish town next time he goes through one. Probably safer to get a new rim built up considering how many miles he does do and how many still to go.
