More rear wheel woes ***EDIT: The mystery is revealed!
So this morning I decided to do a little chain maintenance on my bike while checking out the other spokes to see if they were loose (see my spoke thread). Well, found a few loose spokes, but while cleaning the chain I noticed my wheel had a flat spot. Upon further examination, I realized that the rear tire was flat. I grabbed my bike pump (didn't have handy access to the air compressor at the time) and started pumping... only to find out that air was coming through the nipple where the broken spoke used to be.
Now, what are the odds that the inner tube was somehow punctured by a broken spoke? Also, what are the odds that the guy who had the rear tire replaced was an idiot and put a tubeless tire on and the only things holding the air in were the spokes themselves? I'm going to try screwing the old spoke back in to see if it will hold air... On a side note, I thought the rear wheel seemed a bit more squirrelly than usual... :curse: Login or Register to Remove Ads |
