The New Hotness

  • Broken Spoke

    On the drive side, of course:

    Tour Easy - broken rear spoke
    Tour Easy – broken rear spoke

    I’d noticed some brake drag on our last few rides, but forgot to check until I saw the rim wobble while extracting images from the rear camera.

    It’s a lot easier to fix in the Basement Shop than on the road. After nigh onto a decade since replacing the last broken spoke, perhaps this is a harbinger of doom to come.

    Memo to Self: spoke tension is now 20-ish on the drive side, 15-ish on the left.
