Relacing Rear Wheel

By kenyonja2007, 8 November, 2004

How easy is it to re-lace a rear wheel? Somebody crashed right on top of me in my last race and broke 3 spokes in my rear wheel. I recently bought a spoke kit off ebay, and was wondering if I should attempt it myself or give it to my local shop. I have a good deal of mechanical know-how, I'm not a beginner at all, just never had a problem with my wheels until now. Thanks.

Spokes

I've heard of people relacing entire wheels in front of the TV in a single night, so it can't be that hard.

Why not do the three yourself, and get it checked by the shop. It will probably cost a bit less, and you find out if you did it right for next time ;-)

I did not think that it would be that hard. I really should be able to get away with doing the three, but if I decided to do the rest, I could do them one by one so as not to take away the shape of the wheel. Thanks.
