Broken spoke inside Disc wheel. Any fix?
Quote | Reply
Hi,
I just broke a spoke inside my disc wheel.
The carbon fairings are obviously somehow glued to the aluminium rim and while it is possible to tighten or loose the spokes from inside the rim, I don't see a way to actually replace a spoke.

Does anybody have an idea? (Except for the obvious: replacement of the whole wheel)

Can you contact the manufacturer for their recommendation?

Once, I was fast. But I got over it.

First, you should definitely wait and see if you get a reply from the manufacturer.

With no help, your choices are either diy or if you're not comfortable with it, finding someone who is.

Most of the wheels made this way just have a sheet bonded to the wheel... it can be removed, usually involving heat and a steady heart, and if you're careful, re-bonded. Once one side is off, you should have enough access to replace the spoke and properly true/tension the wheel.
