Replacing a Single Spoke

[rustjunkie]

remove the cog if possible, or the DD unit, will be much easier

 

[rustjunkie]

if the cog is not the thread-on type it’s simple to remove

If it’s easy to remove the cog I’d go that route. If it won’t come free then sliding out that drive unit is your best bet like others have said. Gl Chad!

Thanks Eric! I'm trying real hard to get a couple fresh bikes going for the ride on Sunday... we'll see!

Cool! I want to get my Huffy done for the ride as well. However, my job has a tendency to give a crap what I want...
Hope you've got it handled by now!

One spoke? Ha! My ‘64 Firestone needed a full wheel rebuild because someone jacked up the hub and chain. All the spokes behind the sprocket where chewed up. Half the spokes on the rim got replaced, and he entire wheel was re-trued and the hub properly rebuilt.

The up side? I had a ‘72 Firestone in the boneyard, so even after all that, it was still an original wheel.

A few ways to do it.I loosen the tension on the surrounding spokes and a little bending.
