Doing my daily commute this morning I hear a whirring noise coming from one of my wheels and I feel my bike was riding not as tight as it usually does. It is an Giant OCR-0 2006 with Shimano R550 wheels. On the bike I thought I had a slow puncture with a bearing issue.
I get to work and examine my wheels and then I find the busted spoke. Spoke hasn't broken itself, the screw holding it to the hub has snapped.
Now I am a large guy (105kg) and can hold a very nice speed down. What are my best options?
Fix the busted spoke?
Get the wheels relaced with stronger spokes?
Get new stronger wheels entirely?
