Broken spoke

Post by acmehumor » Sun Oct 19, 2014 11:00 am

Anyone ever change a spoke without removing the tire?

Yes, but obviously the nipple needs to be in re-usable condition. You will need to let some air out of the tire so you can push the nipple down into the rim enough to allow the spoke to go into it.

Steve, I changed two spokes using your method. Worked like a charm. Thanks, Bill Williams
