Missing spoke

[bobbyhill925]

Im missing a spoke on my back wheel, what should i do?

u should 1st of all buy a new spoke. try to put it on yourself. it is hard to do though. u may also have to take the tire off. and if u cant do it u may have to bring it in.

I wouldn't worry all that much about ONE spoke. More than one is missing, then you got a problem. Thats my 2 cents.

If the rest are tensioned properly, no big deal. If not, it might just be the first of many to break. Any idea why it is missing?

 

[bobbyhill925]

nope, came that way

 

[rushy08]

just get a new one to be safe

A spoke costs $4, it's worth it for the peace of mind.

as long as its not sticking out through you leg your ok.

what kind of spoke? what size for the rear tire

ask hank hill -lol
i would leave it alone-
hell i have a few loose spokes and the wheel is fine-
1 isnt going to hurt

if your missing one spoke that means that there is more tension on one side of the wheel than the other, riding the bike will bend your rim.
