andat Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Checked the spokes on the youngsters Gasser the other day and found two adjacent spokes loose. No problem I thought, just tighten them up.... Trouble is, the thread on the spokes and/or the thread in the nipples appear to be sh***ed as any attempt to tighten just results in the nipple spinning and the spoke remaining loose. All other spokes appear fine. Any suggestions before I leap in and replace the offending spokes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telecat Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Hold the spoke using a pair of pliers or better still a Mole grip then try using the spanner?? I always wrap the spoke with a cloth around the gripped area first so you don't damage it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
