Your Spokes - Ain’t No Jokes
Last summer I learned this lesson. The click wouldn’t go away. I had Scott true and glue but I didn’t let the glue set long enough. The click was back and all the twisting I did just made things worse almost to the point of being unrideable. Once I figured out I’d do a better job of adjusting the spokes by looking straight down on them, I got home alright. But it is still a good idea to perform a spoke check when you are cleaning your bike. –Corrie
Your Spokes - Ain’t No Jokes
The way I’ve got it figured, your spokes are kind of like the doorknobs at your place. You know they’re there. You see them all the time and they get used all the time, but you probably don’t spend a lot of time thinking about them. Most they ever get noticed is when there’s a problem. Like if one is really loose or falls off.But spokes do play a really important part in your bike’s smooth functioning. They bear your weight and the weight of your bike plus any cargo you may be carrying. They are an essential step in the transfer of power in your legs out through your wheels to make your bike go. So, it’s definitely worthwhile to pay attention to your spokes and understand how they work.
