    howdy people,
    I've got a buggered spoke on the front wheel, 19" if it makes any odds..
    As I was quenching my thirst last week somebody told me of a good repairer
    in Midland. I must've been a bit distracted (read pissed) coz I cant
    remember the name of the place, I've looked thru the phonebooks, tried
    google, no luck.
    anyone here got any ideas or recommendations..around ossie park would be
    good..
    thanks
    shane

    is it a spoked wheel or a cast wheel ?

    if its just spokes like dirtbikes or a pushbike then just order the spoke
    and replace yourself

    hi,
    it's a spoked wheel...it'd be hard to change a spoke on a cast wheel eh?
    I eventually went for Pal & Panthers, they've always been good in the past
    for assorted wheel stuff...truth be told I got home from work & the wife
    told me " I've dropped your wheel off at Pal & Panther.."
    I would've tried myself but I dont have a truing thingy, I couldnt get the
    discs off & I'm a lazy lazy man...
    thanks for the suggestion though...

    yes broken spoke on a cast wheel is a little difficult

    1 broken spoke doesnt need a truing device

    just change it and tighten up :)
