After two days off due to crap weather I managed to get out this cold, and still windy morning...
NOT a good day, had a spoke break in the rear wheel
so need to get that fixed now... At least I managed to fasten it out the way and ride home, wheel has a slight buckle now
Well after this mornings little incident with the broken spoke, the usual shop in York could not do it until next Wednesday .. So, I called Evans... "We have no qualified service staff in for a couple of weeks or so, until we get back to normal"
Great when you website states you have!
Then I remembered a small bike shop in Driffield, East Gate Cycles... gave them a call, just dropped the wheel off and I can collect this time Thursday... there closed on Wednesday's .... Great service..
The shop was a bit empty, he does a lot of second hand bikes and cant get any!
So I can get back on it Thursday afternoon
Funny enough on the 6th May 2019 in the exact same spot on the road/ride I had 3 spokes go on the same wheel, but it was too buckled to ride, at least this was only one spoke and less of a buckle so i rode home ok.....so is this an annual event lol
Think it may be down to the state of the road, bad filled pot holes which are like speed humps which I do try to avoid at all cost and if I can't ride over slowly ... so I suppose just shock
