Hi Xrayted,

Thanks for being willing to help. I'm sure these guys will appreciate it.

I don't have any of the tools from the list I posted earlier, nor do I have brake/derailleur cables. I do have tubes & chain lube, as well as a floor pump to send. I'm planning on buying a stand for them & so will put any money I get toward the tools. I'm also planning on sending along some spare parts/tools that I've collected here, saddles, pedals, etc.

I think that the biggest thing to consider is that they are riding pretty rugged bikes, and doing a lot of maintenance work thanks to the sand. So anything that you have that would help to that end would most likely be well-appreciated. If sending money is easier, I'm happy to use that to buy things of their wish list.

Southern Belle,

Thanks for the address, I'll send a portion off the things I collect your friend's way as well.

Anne
