Changing a spoke the easy way
« on: July 27, 2011, 09:27:44 AM »
Here is my method for changing a spoke on the road. In this case the spoke is broken at the elbow and the spoke is still threaded into the spoke nipple (nut). In this scenario it is not even nessasary to let the air out of the tire. If the spoke breaks at the nipple end and it falls into the rim it is more work, but still not that difficult.

That's some awesome work there Gary
And front of mind for your customers!!

Too bad I don't have spokes lol *touches wood I don't flat spot my wheels haha

PS:: Gary you should make a few more videos, of riding your bikes and put them on your channel now the weather seems ok?
It would be cool to see a big YouTube icon logo on your website that customers can view your products on video :) yeah

Thanks MM,

A good suggestion for sure. There are many times I have been doing things and think afterwards "Why didn't I video that or at least take a few pictures?" Everyone like watching videos, I know I watch many. Some videos of people riding even a few videos of installing the conversion kits as well would certainly help.
