Dura-Ace C24 snapped spokes

[Deleted]

Hi,

Two snapped spokes after a crash. Wondering if anyone has any experience of repairing? Or any spares lying around? Front wheel - WH-9000. I think they're 283mm but have little experience of wheel repair. Always prefer DIY but if not it's off to Rat Race. 

Thanks.

James

evans sell them I believe. they're pretty scarce and not normally carried by bike shops. You'll do well finding them anywhere in a timely manner unless things have changed

Thanks - they have a 283mm Shimano spoke for the 7850s just whether it fits the WH-9000. No reason to think it wouldn't! www.evanscycles.com/shimano-7850-c24-clincher-replacement-spoke-384-EV174966

Will put it to various people who know better than I do!

They're the same rims as far as I'm aware. Not sure of the hub differences.

James I have a front c24 with a worn out rim. Should be able to cannibalise a couple of spokes for you.

Can bring them to Palace tomorrow?

Ian, this would blow my mind. I'll do a full inspection and see if any more have been bent etc. if that's ok?

That's fine. It's the previous incarnation of the wheel but I think the spokes are the same. I'll pick the best ones.

Awesome, I've managed to piece things together and they're 283mm. If I could nab 3 in case of a whoopsie that would be brilliant.

Just an update on this for C24 owners - Iain's 7850 spokes worked fine screwed into the existing nipples on the WH-9000. Thanks!

Just replaced and tightened the two snapped ones and the rim has come into line. Haven't ridden yet but we'll see!

Straight down Toys From The South for the test run James?

I've just had some spokes bent on a Shimano RS81 C35 rear wheel. SJS Cycles seem to be good for replacement spokes should you need to find some in future.
