just changed over my brakes and found a couple of really loose spokes, quite a surprise, as I checked them over before my last ride but they must have worked loose on Sunday around Ashton Court, what's that all about then?

who can I blame? I've a feeling its Solmanders fault for no reason apart from I thought of his name first, what's a suitable punishment and how can I ward off his evil spoke slackening JuJu??

Human sacrifice with a sharpened multi-tool ziptied to a Blacburn Mammoth mini pump!I've been pondering on this for a while as I may have to perform a mercy killing at our next trip to CYB and it seems like the best option for the job.

Usually it's down to a poor build......

As PP says, it's due to uneven spoke tension. It's not about the wheel beeing round, it's about the spokes having even tension.

As for the sacrific, stab him with a slice or rotten watermelon.
