Snapped spokes :(

Went out around Leamington/Lillington/Cubbington on Monday with my flat mate for a 9 mile jaunt, and managed to come home with 2 snapped spokes :( I think I hit a pot hole at one point which did the first spoke. After that I think the additional stress on the wheel popped the second. Was a very slow 2 miles back home!

Not sure if I'd get away with trying to get it fixed under warranty? Guess I'll have to just get the spokes replaced.

Can you measure them? I have some spares. Also Cov Cycle Centre have some common sizes in stock and should be able to sort you out. The problem with a warranty repair is you need to send off the whole wheel and it can take weeks.

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

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
