Matty05 Posted October 5, 2005 only short term. It is easier to buckle your rim. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robbo66 Posted October 5, 2005 Cool. Thanks. Buying a new one tomorrow. I'll be damned if I knew how I was missing a spoke? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barton Posted October 5, 2005 Question: Where is the part that was attached to the rim? Answer: Probably bouncing around inside the tire, hoping to give you a flat 50 miles from home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SUnruh My Rides (2) Posted October 5, 2005 sure go ride, hopefully mike alessi's foot is still stuck in it! big jumps should be avoided though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robbo66 Posted October 6, 2005 LOL SUnruh!! Cool. Thanks everyone. The spoke is completly missing, but the nipple is still in there. The nipple is pretty firm. I can't move it by hand. I was only going to the sand track. No big jumps. Infact, no jumps. Just heaps of whoops. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt96xr6 Posted October 6, 2005 you will need to remove the nipple otherwise you will pinch the tube. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
