Is it safe to keep riding on a slightly bent wheel that has a broken spoke?
Basically I have a (currently) OTP spec Genesis Flyer with the crappy Alexrims still on it. One of the spokes keeps breaking, and is curerently broken, with the wheel a little out of shape. I am all booked in to get some new wheels made and put on next week, but can I ride it broken until then? I can't stand the bus any longer and don't want to spend a tenner on fixing it only to be rid of the wheels come next week or for the spoke to break again straight away.
I'm really only concerned about doing my frame or me damage, if the wheel is irreprable, then so be it, I won't need it soon.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers
