So he takes my wheel off the bike and we discover why.... the rim is split in two places...

Probably got hit by a paving slab or two.

Just getting ready to cycle off to meet up with Steph and I hear a "Helen, can you spare me a
minute??" So I wander off into the garage where Vernon is tinkering with me bike... "Heard any
funny noises from the back of your bike, lately?" he says. "Errr...nooooo..." says
me. "Look at this"says he. He spins my wheel (oooerrr, Missus) and it wobbles about all over the
place. "A bit out of true, then?" I say sagely. I obviously am demonstrating my knowledge of
cycling matters technical. "Just a bit." says my personal bike mechanic. So he takes my wheel
off the bike and we discover why.... the rim is split in two places... It's a Mavic MA3 -
hasn't there been a thread recently about this???

It was me started the thread about the MA3's, mine was two parralel cracks each side of a drive side
spoke hole, about 10mm long. Whats your like.

I've ordered some Ambrosio Execlence rims from hewit cycles, There about the same weight, but with
double eyelets and a deeper section

Now to get a new rear wheel... AAAAGGGHHHHH!!!

If you hubs are ok, get him indoors the book, some new rims and some spokes.

About the same - on two different spokes.

Oh I'll be angling for some new *complete* wheels. After all, one can never have too many bikes,
bike bits or accessories or spend too much money on bikes... etc., etc., etc...

But if you get the bock and do it yerself, you've got an excuse to get a truing stand and a dishing
tool, making yourself incalculably cool amongst your cycling chums.

No, but my large rear end does sit on a saddle which is linked to the back wheel by metal ;-)
