Title: Reuse spokes?
Post by: GregW on 09.01. 2021 19:25

The front rim on my A10 started to rust (long story) and needs to be replaced. I have stainless spokes on the wheel and, being cheap, am hoping I can reuse the spokes to lace to a new rim. Has anyone reused spokes? Is it fraught with peril?  *help*

If you can get the nuts off them, you can re-use then.

Shouldn't be a problem. Stainless spokes (with plated brass nipples) should come undone easily.
