Did you hit a pothole on your ride over the weekend and bend your wheel out
of shape? If so then you need our latest roadside maintenance video where
Daniel shows us how to fix a bent wheel while out on the road.
If you’ve got any tips we missed, then let us know too!
How to get home with bent wheel.
subs x spanish
Our previous upload on wheels got me home after hitting a huge hole, to big
to call a pothole:-), which made a mess of my front wheel. Raining heavily
at time so filled with water and by the time I spied it it was a tad late.
Made a total wreck but thanks to your informative upload which I had only
recently watched I thought sod it can’t make it any worse..got me home
just!!
How many bikes do you have guys?
if the wheel was built correctly in the first place its unluckly that
you’ll need to loosen any spokes to true it
Ow yes, been there, done that. A side-effect of riding on cobbles and
gotta love that clip-system from Fizik !
And I guess you have also size M, which I (personally) think is very big
and quiet heavy (2 spare innertubes, multitool, co2 inflator = 500gr )
Cheers for the advice
better
how many bikes have you got?
COUNTERclockwise!!…is anticlockwise a european thing?
Love GCN, keep up all the great work! thanks
Nice one, perhaps how to glue a tubular or get home with a broken quick
release next time.
dura ace wheels have a custom spoke key, to make it easier…
I’d call that badly out of true. Not buckled. I was expecting a video of
smashing of the wheel against a tree or large rock to get it rideable…lol
I thought Dans bikes are SOO perfect that all he has to do is sit on them
and they roll along by themselves ? with him being an ex-pro :p – expro’s
having a mythical status in the ether of life lol
i dont have a spoke tool on my multi-tool. Are there small lightweight
single spoke tools available that i can add to my saddle bag?
Turn the bike upside down, it makes it ten times easier!
