This week I hit an unavoidable pot hole which broke a spoke on my rear wheel.Cabletied the broken spoke to the adjacent one and set off for home.As expected rhe wheel was out of true but made it home.Wheel off tyre and tube removed and off to the well respected lbs.I left it with them and received a phone call rim is cracked at the broken spoke hole.
they can put me a rim on but it would be a cheaper option to get a new wheel.This was their recommend choice.They swapped my cassette onto the new wheel and gave me the old wheel back as it has a decent hub.
Now back on the road for forty five quid.
would it be feasable to get a new rim for my old one and have a go at building up the wheel and how difficult would it be?
I have a friend who has a truing stand I can borrow.
