Bike polo mechanics & fixing

^this. Left rotor on but packed bike so it was out of harms way.

Note for Hope hubs: You can pull the axle ends out of the hubs on the outside of the wheels around the frame, making the chance of anything popping through the bag incredibly slim.

exactly what snoopy said. rotor sits in triangle.

Yeah, I just put the rotor side on the inside, never had an issue.

And bring one of these just in case:

meh, just use your hands, and if that aint enough, an adjustable spanner!

adjustable spanner ftw

I put blue shrink wrap around my adjustable so it looks,feels and works just like the park tool DT-2 but a fraction of the cost.

A ball broke a spoke on my front wheel the other day and I though it would be a good time to true it up. I started doing so, but the spokes kept snapping off at the nipple when I tried to turn them.

I now have three broken spokes and am no closer to being able to true my wheels.

Suggestions?

Lube, wait & try again?

Are you holding the spoke when you tighten it?

Sounds like corrosion and/or spokes that have no thread left. No cure that I know of. If you are lucky then the remainder are better than the ones you already adjusted but you will probably find that they are all like that. Sorry.

Anyone have a padded bike bag I could borrow? Going back to Aus end of the month and need it for 3 - 4 weeks. Happy to buy as well.

Yep.

Can bring it to the LO probably. Make me an offer if it looks like the right sort of thing.
