Inertia
I feel like I could... TAKE ON THE WORLD!!
Hi guys, I hope you can help me. I have had issues with my rear wheel recently, I had to have the hub replaced and the LBS I took it too was very good about fixing it and they kept the rim and spokes and replaced the hub with a new one, was not expensive so I was happy. Since then its not gone well though, I didn't notice but the small plastic chain guard wasn't on when I got it back and the chain went into the spokes and damaged them, breaking a couple. When I took it back, 3 had gone, they fixed it put a replacement chain guard on, since then spokes have broken twice and I have took it back twice.
They haven't charged but its the inconvenience of going back and having the bike out of action, I commute on it. Today I noticed one spoke has broken and another is wobbly and think I will try and fix it myself. I know its a long story but thought better to tell it all, can someone recommend a good wheel truing mount that should do me? Money is an issue unfortunately but I think maybe it will save me time and money in the long run. Also do you think I will need to rebuild the whole wheel or should I be able to replace the broken spoke and tighten the other on this occasion? I guess these are probably simple questions but Im just after a little reassurance that its not totally daunting and I can do it. I have also just noticed Mickles thread and wil read it, thanks Mickle!
