As above, got a stick through the rear wheel last time out. Was very surprised that I did not total the wheel as the offending arboreal nasty was as thick as my forefinger. One spoke stood up and was not found lacking, chopped the wretched stick and did not snap although there is a nasty bend in it about 30mm from the rim. Wheels is still true.
Question. Do I leave as is due to tubeless faffage and risk a premature and painful demise or bite the bullet and replace it?
Your opinions?
I rode a wheel like this for two months last year. I'm still alive.
I'd just straighten it and ride.
You know how they make the j bend?
Yeah, don't worry. I rode and raced on some LB rims with two broken spokes, no problems.
fait accompli. It snapped on the ride tonight. Now to see what size it is......
