Ah, yes. I forgot you'd gone down the factory-built wheels route, thus making repairs more difficult.

How about a bike shop near your office? Do Condor sell them?

[quote="Sean Hogan"]Repairs are easy, thats not the issue. It is that I need to get the right spoke for the wheel. The wheels are made to be easily serviced. I've checked out GBs and as we're hiring a car this Saturday I'll get the bike dropped off at GBs that day and hopefully collect later on... hence why no CR.

[quote="Sean Hogan"]Where am I going to get a Fulcrum bladed spoke ?

[Grahame]

[quote="Sean Hogan"]They sell the wheels, but do they sell the spokes?

[Dombo]

Don't you find the bladed spokes catch sidewinds? I had terrible trouble with my Bontrager Race wheels.

[quote="Sean Hogan"]... Now I have a busted rear wheel as the slack chain slipped and sheered off a spoke on the drive side

[Antloony]

Not seen that for years. Quality findage.

I'm just about to fit a new chain to my steed. I don't need a bike shop to mess it up for me, I'm more than capable of doing that myself.

It may go wrong as I'm listening to Leona Lewis live on radio 2....and she is so bloody boooorriinngggg....god woman get a personality, with all that money she's making you'd think she could buy one.

Rant over, back to the chain fitting.....

1st- Remove old chain....after finding chain splitting tool

2nd- Make a drink, sit down and watch tele for an hour after getting fed up of Leona and hunting for chain splitting tool.

3rd- Continue hunt for said tool.

4th- Make lunch, all that searching is hungry work.

5th-Search for another 20 mins, blame misses for moving it.

6th- Come to decision chain will last another couple of weeks.

7th - Order new chain splitting tool on line
