I came back from a blast around Sherwood Pines yesterday and noticed a broken spoke on my rear wheel. I have removed the spoke and the wheel itself only has a slight wobble. I can't get to a bike shop for a few days and use the bike for commuting but I am not too sure if I should still ride it - what are your thoughts? What would you do? Is the wheel likely to collapse?
Thanks.
I rode with a broken spoke on my old wheels for about 3 months as I was being lazy. It held up fine. I'd get it sorted, but wouldnt worry too much about it collapsing.
Yeah be fine, nowt to worry about, unless your a clumsy oaf
Ridden mu commuter a few times with a broken spoke, so generally nothing to worry about. Wheels feels a bit flexy but that might be my imagination.
However don't blame me if your wheel collapses and you die under the wheels of a bus
did three laps of lee quarry with a broken spoke and it was fine though I am quite light and did not do any jumps
Fine for commuting purposes
