Pot hole and broken spoke

[J4CKO]

Personally I prefer to remove sprocket (or cassette & disk rotor if I had them) before deflating the tyre. It stops the wheel skidding on the floor when you are trying to shift the bl**dy thing.
.

Good point, did think that after I had posted.

Thanks! Ive got all that stuff.. but I want a truing rig! . But thanks. Just trying to find the type of spokes I need as LBS dont have any and not ordering for over a week...

Dad luck Davy.

Perhaps you could put in a claim for a trueing rig while you at it.

go for it. E-mail Rob Fuller at CTC World HQ or Jill Lambley, your local DA secretary, and ask for advice. This

takes you to a contact form.

I would ask them for a reasonable payment - not over inflated, and point out that if you come off at the same pot hole you will sue them for a lot more - then they might actually think about doing something about it.

Perosnally I do think it is worth a letter to the highways dept, I wouldnt spend a lot of time brow beating them for money, ok they are meant to maintain the road but dont have any money so I dont know how much help everyone getting a few quid off them will be in the long run.

Since you'd previously reported it and the council/local authority failed to repair it then they are liable for any consequent claims in relation to any incident. They're supposed to do regular inspections and most often any damage caused by potholes falls in between the last time they saw it - which is always ok (not) - and the incident date so they have a defence. Looks like they haven't this time.

Good luck.
