Hi all,
I just bought an old wheelset off ebay. Standard stuff, Mavic-MA-40's
laced to Dura-Ace hubs. Here's where it gets tricky. The front wheel
had bladed spokes, one of which broke at the head. I'm assuming this
is FedEx's fault, but whatever.
Can I simply replace the bladed spoke with a regular straight gauge
spoke of the same length? The bladed spokes do not have regular spoke
heads, but instead seem to be clipped off at what would be the head.
I'm not very familiar with this type of set-up. Would "round" spokes
mesh well with the flat/bladed spokes in terms of tension, etc...?
