Verbatim, yesterday:

-“My manager says we’ve got spokes, for repairs that we do ourselves, but we can’t sell them to you.”

-“You can’t sell me a spoke?”

-“No.”

–Shakes head, looks amazed, leaves…

Wouldn’t be an issue if they weren’t the only bike shop within walking distance.

I don’t see a problem there. They don’t sell spokes. So what?

probably safer…lets face it whats the odds they’d sell you the right ones?

when i went in they only stocked them in 5s ie. 290,295,300 etc.

no good if you want 292

I also asked for a disk brake adaptor.

he told me to try a proper bike shop 😆

Do you really want a Halfords spoke? 🙂

I haven’t got any bike shops within walking distance. What should I do if I break a spoke?

Carry on riding…..

What should I do if I break a spoke?

buy a few spares before you break one?

Surprised Halfords even know what a spoke is.

I haven’t got any bike shops within walking distance. What should I do if I break a spoke?

keep riding. My back wheel has two broken spokes that i’ve been meaning to replace for about 2 years now.
