Need 1 spoke for a 350f
« on: September 05, 2008, 07:00:57 PM »
Like a moron (again) I was late for work the other day & went to take off on my bike without taking off the brake lock. Aftermoving about an inch the bike jumps & dies (and my heart stops). Looking down I was kinda glad to see I was just an idiot & left my lock on. The only damage luckily was a bent spoke. Just wondering if anyone has an extra lying around, I don't want to have to buy a full set so I can have one super shiny spoke (which would make me have to admit to the story again when noticed). BTW I no longer use the lock as I believe my lack of inteligence before I have my coffee in the morning is more apt to happen than the theft of the bike.

Inner or outer? Front or rear?

Actually, I couldn't help you anyways, as the only spokes I have are for a 16" rim - bought in error from E-Bay. That said, perhaps it would be worth your while to check there - search for "spoke Honda" or some such and see what comes up? I've seen the odd used spoke set go for next-to-nothing.

Hth,

thanks kghost, it's the front, i'll check tomorrow if it's inner or outer. And thanks for not takin' the piss out of me for being such an ass with the lock and all. Are you going to be camping at the rally in Luckenbach? I was thinking of doing the same even though I only live 60 miles out. Less of a chance of technical difficulties from riding back & forth 2 days.
