THINGS I'M LEARNING

Just had a great talk to GEBE.

1. Very important information on the Tension Lever:

2. Information of Spokes

He broke a spoke
And spoke he's broke
So spare the bloke
The spare he broke
And give the bloke
A brand new spoke.

Uh Oh ... Spokes break

Three spokes appeared to have broken at once today. I noticed other loose ones. The tire rim is 'S' shape bent.

I've started some forum exploring for the next move.

Bicycle shop stayed open after hours for me.
Owner had many good ideas.

Not sure on the best approach. New rim? Different spokes? Spoke anchors?

More soon.

Still had a great ride before having to stop and call a great friend.
My Virtual Pretend Bike Journey from the Atlantic to the Pacific now has me Gila Bend, Arizona, just southwest of Phoenix.

Wonderful.
