That is all. Too cheap to buy a spoke kit. It's for my old mans bike.

Get a spoke kit, call Scott. its not too bad if you replace them 1 at a time. Just takes about 4 hours. Use a grinder to cut the fucked ones out.

jesus 4 hours! took me about 2! (first time as well)

its pretty easy to do, everyone makes out its hard.

step 1- remove wheel from bike
2 - remove tyre and tube
3 - cut spokes
4- remove cut spokes
5- lace up new spokes, just put them all in and do them up so they are real loose.
6 put wheel on bike
gradually do up spokes bit by bit till they are all roughy the same amount done up- finger tight almost

get a screwdriver or whatever an hold it on the swingarm to work as a guage to make sure you're doing it up straight this screwdriver can measure both side to side movement of the wheel as well as off centre measurement by moving the screwdriver from the side to the outer circumference of the rim.

keep doing the spokes up bit by bit. - easy!

Don't cut them all! I said 4 hours cause ti too me ages to get the tyre off. If you just take them out in pairs its easy.
