Bike Promblems.?

Question

I was riding my bike a i broke 1 spoke and 1 bent my bike store dosent fix it but sells spokes yhow do i fix it and what do i buy where

Answer 1

Spokes cannot be repaired. Once bent ot broken, they are done.

It is going to be too complicated for you to replace it yourself. You have to know how the spokes are laced--this seems easy, but it is not, have peoper tools and have the correct length spoke.

Spokes cost about $1 each.The labor to replace them is about $15.

You would probably have to spend more money in tools than it would cost to replace it.

Do not ride on it because if you hit a bump, the wheel can bend and you will be on the ground. The bill from the mechanic is going to be cheaper than the bill from the doctor.

Please, please, pleasae go to a local bike shop and have it replaced. You might politely ask to watch the mechanic do it and explain the process.
