Cate replied to John Knight's discussion Who is doing the Sydney Spring Cycle on Sunday week (Oct 21st) ?"I would love to do it but I've only just rehabilitated my knees for the 16km round trip to work.

Neil Alexander replied to Cate's discussion Broken Spoke - quick advice"I broke a non-drive-side rear spoke t'other day (on a wheel I didn't build). I simply unscrewed it from the nipple and placed in nearest proper receptacle.

Cate replied to Cate's discussion Broken Spoke - quick advice"Have 'Lashed" the spoke with a bit of electrical tape. The wheel has no wobble and has disc brakes .. All seems good. Son can ride it home tonight and I'll get it sorted tomorrow. Thanks everyone for the advice!!"
baa baa replied to Cate's discussion Broken Spoke - quick advice"and if possible lash or tape the broken spoke to one of its neighbour to stop it lashing around your forks

Bernard replied to Cate's discussion Broken Spoke - quick advice"Just be aware that unless you have disc brakes you may need to loosen the front brakes a bit depending on how much of a wobble the wheel has."
Neil Alexander replied to Cate's discussion Broken Spoke - quick advice"Whack in a spare wheel* while broken one is being fixed?
*If you have, or can beg, borrow or steal, one the same, of course."
Cate replied to Cate's discussion Broken Spoke - quick advice"Beauty thanks a lot. I thought it might be fine. Actually my son has to ride it home in the wee hours from work but I'll tell him to go easy."
herzog replied to Cate's discussion Broken Spoke - quick advice"One broken spoke is fine over that distance. 32 spoke configuration is very strong.
Just avoid any big square hits to the rim (eg going up gutters etc).
You could also lower the tyre pressure a bit. "
