Replacer of spokes
« on: March 06, 2006, 06:25:07 PM »
Hi,
wasn't there someone in the USA whom replaces spokes on our bikes for $50.?

I can't find the thread and need at least two wheels done, and NO I don't want to do it myself.

It's time-consuming, hence the price. To replace one spoke, at least 10 must be loosened at various points around the wheel to allow reinsertion without bending the new on, then realignment.   :'(
