For Sale: Fucked Rear Aerospoke for Pennies!

Don't know if anyone could make use of this but it's available anyway....

Rear, 700c Powdercoated. The company who did it put it in at too high a temperature & bubbled the paint!

Spoke cut off to get a replacement sorted.

How much?

I Paid £220 but I'm obviously not gonna get that!

Taking offers.....

why did you cut off one spoke??
and how was it going to be sorted?
just curious

Feel for you pal... was the spoke you chopped out damaged beyond repair?
Did you get any compensation from the powdercoaters?

You might get some money for the hub.
It fubar mate.

Didn't the company who ruined it offer compensation?
Replacement spoke?

Sand it down and start again?

Hack off another one and ebay it as a trispoke

Aerospoke have a returns policy where if you purchase one of their wheels & want it changed at anytime you return it to them, pay $150.00 + postage & they give you a new one. No questions asked!

This is what I did but since I'm half way around the world from them they just asked me to physically cut a spoke off, photograph it as proof, along with the serial no. & they'd do an exchange.

Which is why I'm left with this...

Anyone who is thinking about buying this & doing the returns policy DON'T as they already have the serial no. for this wheel so it cannot be returned.
Personally i don't know if it's possible to mend it but it's certainly worth a try. The wheel itself is still true & still feels surprisingly strong!

Company paid for replacement!

Use the 4 other spokes to get 4 new wheels!
Common sense innit!

Dish 'em out man...

good idea

i'll give ya a tenner for one

I'll take it for free....

I think he meant photograph of the wheel sans spoke. Not the removed section.... Or if you're joking, i'm an idiot.

Have you tried riding on it icecream?

Arrospok will charge you $90 postage on top of that tho'... Or they were last year anyway...

powder coating was never going to work on a plastic / resin wheel... did you not know what ovens do to plastic. Just reading this makes me feel exhausted at how 'daft' someone was.

Even better! Tynan can photochop loads of 'em with spokes missing.

Cheap spoks for everyone.

You reckon it's safe to ride it?!

do you have the section you cut out?
and if so i will buy it off you.

Mine was factory powdercoated by Aerospoke - its fine if you know how

Id happily use it for experimenting and possibly an ornament after that.

Cant really offer you any dorra for it though.

Can I borrow it just to see if it'll hold up dropping down a few steps? Tynan can film it.

im gonna give the man cash money

Chain it up outside BLB as a warning.*... *

hmm i will have a shot fixing that with some carbon £10

i will offer a tenner.

£11 cash, cold hard cash.
