Re: The Cycling Thread
Yes, although i did true one of my wheels recently by tightening one spoke. That's magic!

Re: The Cycling Thread
I'm hoping that putting a nice new spoke in and getting the tension right, it up will see the wheel straight...
I know that when I do look at getting wheels I'll go along and see him and ask what he can do...

Re: The Cycling Thread
Yep, it'll probably do the job. He'll probably go round the whole wheel and tension all the spokes properly. Its probably a machine built wheel, never quite as good as a good hand built wheel, unless you're spending lots of money

Re: The Cycling Thread
Yes, but more space in the garage
 I just need to sell one more frame for the funds for the next frame. Despite being underdressed for the chill wind, i had a good ride, nice pace, didn't go into the red zone and legs felt pretty good.

Re: The Cycling Thread
I'm desparate to get out, but stupidly I forgot to measure the length of the spoke before I went to evans today.
The weather is now taking a turn for the worse and its snowing here and to get worse..

Re: The Cycling Thread
Weather here is scandalous! Haven't been out since Sunday, feels weird!
I really need to buy some clothing/kit rather than spending all my money on bikes and bits to staple onto said bikes... |

Re: The Cycling Thread
Weather is changing here... managed to get a short soaking in the hills yesterday. Fine and sunny tomorrow... pity I won't be on the bike... and more rain next week.
Need to find my jacket and rear fender. The Jacket is from Adidas - it remains to be seen how dry I'll be in that... The fender is just an SKS S-Blade that straps onto the seat post, but it makes a huge difference in the sort of not too bad weather we get. |
