I broke another spoke in the rear wheel:( the bike mechanic says the rim is bent and I need a new wheel. It's a 32 spoke wheel and it had a wobble of about 8mm after breaking the spoke, is that unusual? And does that mean the rim is fucked?
When I picked up the wheels I assumed that they were 36h so I didn't check... Bit stupid because I weight about 190 pounds. Would have been a disaster when I had used a rear rack and panniers as well. Only good thing is that it happened in the middle of Valencia.
