2 bent spokes

[tombre2]

ive got 2 or 3 bent spokes due to a derailler snapage and was wondering whether to replace all the spokes or just the bent ones. how long do u reckon it would take

cheers

what kind of quality is the wheel and how old?

if it isn't that good, especially in terms of spoke quality, then replace them all.

this is because the other ones will be fatigued to the same degree, ifyou put some new ones in there DT swiss comps or something, then those spokes take bigger loads, distributing more stress onto theweaker spokes = breaking spokes.

but if its a good wheel and in good condition, it should be ok.

I may get shot down for saying this, but I would not worry about replacing them at all unless they are actually broken. Assuming the damage has pulled your rim out of true I'd just tighten them back up and see how it goes.

(At your own risk though ;) )

the rims are single track and the spokes are DT champion
its pretty much true so i think ill leave it 4 a bit, till ive got bit more cash

thanks anyway
