Replacing a spoke: 8 easy steps to get a working wheel Snapped a spoke? Here are the simple steps you need to get your bike back on the road cycling
Remove the wheel from the bike, then remove the tyre, tube and rim tape, unless your rims are tubeless models with fully sealed rim bed, with no access to nipples from behind. Unscrew the threaded end of the broken spoke from the nipple.
Remove the cassette to access the spoke hole in the flange. Here we're unpicking the spoke from the ones it crosses from hub to rim, noting whether it passes over or under the others. On a traditional three cross lacing pattern, a spoke would go under, under, over the three other spokes on its way to the rim.You'll need to buy a suitable replacement spoke.
Place the wheel back in the frame. Position two small zip ties, one on each seat stay or fork leg at rim level and angle the ends so they just clear the extremes of any run out. The zip tie ends act as visual guides to the tension adjustments you make as you return the wheel to true.
