I guess 2.5 months of riding on a quick (and much appreciated) fix isn&#8217;t too bad. The wheel is wobbling a bit so I won&#8217;t be riding this bike until I can get it fixed up.<\/p>\n<p>I was surprised by how it broke. Much like the last time I was riding along pretty trivial single track, a short and relatively smooth uphill section at Stony Creek and not going over anything more difficult than a front lawn. Suddenly I heard a BANG sound, stopped to look at the wheel, and saw one end of a spoke hanging into the center near the hub.<\/p>\n<p>Oh well, that&#8217;s life I guess. I can&#8217;t complain too much, as I&#8217;ve got at least 2466 miles (likely more, as not all were logged) on these wheels. I&#8217;ve got some 291mm spokes here from <a href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/2011\/04\/26\/new-single-speed-wheels\/\">building up a wheel set back in April<\/a>. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dtswiss.com\/SpokesCalc\/Calculator.aspx\">DT Swiss&#8217; Spoke Calculator<\/a> is recommending a 293mm spoke, but hopefully I&#8217;ll be able to make do with something 2mm shorter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE:<\/strong> The replacement spoke did the trick.
