Broken spoke
« on: 06.11. 2016 12:24 »
Upon rebuilding my clutch again, I noticed that there is a broken spoke in the rear wheel. Can I just replace one spoke? It's a '55 GF s/arm with an 18" rim. 18 - 2.15  40

 Sure.

 You just have to find a replacement spoke, and swap them out. Its kind of a hassle, but it should be done.

 Make sure to look over all the remaining spokes carefully while you are that deep into it, and replace any other bad ones while at it (bent ones, ones that are loose and cannot be tightened because of corrosion, etc.)
