asploded bike parts thread

yallz should read up on jobst reusing spokes.

also, no shop would rebuild your wheel with your old spokes- mostly because they’d have to charge you more for the labor to remove all of the old ones from the wheel.

also:

some shitty neuvation propriatary jawn off this road bike i have.
many many many miles on this them there.

Ah, word. I probably should have thought of the whole liability/safety thing. Oh well, probably not worth it then. I’ll just have another wheel built.

its pretty easy to swap a rim. i just tape a new rim to the old one, and go one by one from the valve hole

I used that exact method. Make sure to evenly de-tension the spokes from the old rim.

Wondering if I can just have a shop buy the same rim and relace the wheel? Have had the wheels for about two years. All the spokes look fine except for two right near the break which are ever so slightly bent about two inches down from the nipple. (The curve goes about 1mm out from being straight.)[/quote]

guessing they didn’t stop to be nice and give insurance info? or else you’d be asking about getting a sett of H+ boxxx and some da hubs right?

ive done this exact method with a busted ass wheel. worked fine, still riding the wheel.

^as have I.

On that note
