So after years of abuse my wheelchair finally gave up on me.

To be specific, one of the castor wheels fell off.

The ball bearings fell out and then the whole thing simply fell out.

The problem is that I am traveling at the moment and have no idea how to go about fixing this. I ordered some froglegs castors and had them shipped priority to my hotel, but they dont have any ball bearing with them.

Does anyone know anywhere in the US that will have the bearings for a Kuschall K series chair.

A 3 wheeled chair is a nightmare in the snow, ant help would be great.

I know this is probably too late, but I think anyplace that sells rollerblades and rollerblade parts would have suitable ball bearings. Maybe even some of the big-box sporting-goods chains.
