I have the standard UK rear wheels and I noticed that I have a crack on one of the spokes. It goes from one end of the spoke to the other but not quite meeting yet. I removed the wheel and looked at the other side and it is definatly cracked and not a surface scratch. I need to know if its possible to repair such a thing or just get another wheel?

i have had cracked wheels repaired before, but usually around the rim, not on a spoke. where abouts are you?

 

it will prob work out cheaper to get a 2nd hand wheel TBH

I'll have to look at buying another wheel then, was a bit worried about the safety of the wheel, dont want it disintegrating when driving along!

Should be fine at low speeds, but I'd get it replaced ASAP - you don't want it going at motorway speeds.

 

Someone here must have a decent UK spec rear they don't want. Ask AndyZ or PHNW.

Hellfire!!

 

Don't drive it with a cracked wheel.

 

Whatever happened to break it??

Its a good question, maybe a previous owner slid the back end into a curb? It's a bit of a mystery, don't know what could of caused this to happen, have only recently noticed it.

Hmm, I'd get checks done to see whether there's more damage

that you cannot immediately see.

Ask stevo if he still got a set avalable!

Yes m8, I spoke to him about it he's going to get back to me.
