HABO- need a VO decaleur in SF today!
I’m in SF, leaving on Touroica tomorrow. Went to put my handlebar bag on, missing bag side of decaleur! Called around to local LBS’s, none to be found. Anybody got one I can buy or rent?

Luckily (for Mark), I have a broken shoulder so can't use my VO decaleur as I had been planning this week. My wife just rendezvoused with Mark to deliver the part.

@Spaghetti Legs Should chime in here about the last two credit card tours I did with him. Both of them we had pedals explode, yet kind bike forum members came to the rescue. So I figure we started out with good luck this time as well

Makes perfect sense that he would want a rolling spare parts bin.

Too bad I'm across the country, I have a spare. I keep picking them up when I buy front bags. Turns out I'm too much of a weight weenie to use them. Plus I like the Ortlieb hardware mod for quick detachment.
