Well, not that bad, nice enjoayable 45 mile jaunt. However, firstly one bottle cage came unscrewed &
couldn't fine my 4mm Allen key, so it had to dangle about on its last remaing, loose, screw. Then,
about 15 miles from home..... BANG, what the h*** was that.
100 yards later, with me struggling to move forward, got off to investigate, broken spoke. I didn't
realise they made so much noise breaking.
Anyway, slackened off rear brake & got home OK.
Now for the repair. Any hints anyone. I built the wheels from scratch about 18 months ago, but
spokes & rims were all new. What should I do for one broken spoke? Do slacken all off a lot, replace
spoke, and then re-true as if I was starting over, or what?
TIA, Niv.
