What a day !!

snapped a spoke on the rear wheel gear side so its off to lbs as i dont have the tools to get the gears off :cry:

Got soaked cycling home with the back brake wide open as the wheel is now off true due to the spoke

Tosser in a lorry was so close forced me luckily into a bus stop !


AAAAAAAAAARGHHHHHHHH !!

don`t suppose anyone knows what spoke size i need for a 26" dbm 1 rim? :wink:

  • If that rim is a fairly popular one with a well known hub, then you can work out the spoke size needed here:

    Most LBS's should be able to measure and let you know the size though I would have thought. If replacing it yourself, make sure the spoke tension is in line with the other spokes on the wheel, otherwise you will be continually replacing spokes on that wheel (ask me how I know!!!).
