As per title.
I have a rim to replace - what's the view on reusing spokes? Currently got very thin double (?) butted one's that may cost a few bob to replace.
Cheers
If you're rebuilding on the same rim, just tape the two together, detension the wheel and swap one spoke over at a time, sorted.
just check the ones around the caseete to make sure there's no gouges in them otherwise you'll be fine.
As long as they aren't damaged they'll be fine. I've done it. I'm still here, and my wheel is still fine too. 🙂
Absolutely fine so long as the spokes haven't been run loose.
No problems at all providing they're not damaged. I'm running on spokes that are 3 rims old on my back wheel 🙂
I don't find it a problem with good quality spokes (eg DT Comps), some OEM spokes are a different matter though.
spokes out last rims fact i would and have reused spokes
As per njee20, done it a few times. Commonplace for DH where you often want to swap out a buggered rim.
Never done owt else in nearly 20 years of mountain biking. You'll be reet.
Thanks one and all - good to know.
Saved a few quid - think I may spend it on the odd dram!!
Cheers
