My son Rob and I are sharing a Challenge Hurricane this year. As we both have back and neck problems does anyone know where we can source a headrest for the bike?

We also need a new Ventisit, or similar, seat pad, is there a UK supplier?

Thanks

Thanks Kevin,

Apologies for the delay in replying as I have been on holiday. Thanks also for replying to Rob on Facebook re the cracked stem on the bike.

At the moment the stem is with an F1 team for NDT and possible repair. I will come back to you for the headrest and seat cover, and also a stem if it cannot be repaired. I have also dicovered that the front wheel rim is also worn very thin by the Magura brakes so I have to find another wheel, which I have, in one of my four sheds of bike bits!

Looks like we won't be riding it at WC2024 as, by the time we get it sorted, we won't have time to learn to ride it.
