Hey,

I’m down in Cornwall for a week and just noticed that a bunch of the spokes on my front wheel are broken. Thinking the quickest option will be to find a temp / replacement wheel. Ideally looking for something cheap in North Cornwall (I’m staying in Wadebridge), can drive an hour or so in any direction. It’s an older road bike so won’t take anything too wide, will measure the rim when I get home.

Luckily I had the Brompton in the boot so still managed to make it out today.

I'm in Tavistock and you can borrow a front Aksium front wheel if any use? QR hub and has a tyre on it too :)

I have one can borrow as well. 100mm qr rim or disc I have both. I'm 16miles from Wadebridge.

Very kind offers @harv4130 and @user155490! I managed to get a used wheel from gumtree which does the job.
Happy riding!

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
