View Full Version : Broken spokes



Love my Bonnie

I have 2 broken spokes on the rear wheel of my Bonnie.
I have been onto Triumph NZ to get replacements.
For some reason they seem to be having trouble identifying which spokes they are. They have asked if they are the spokes in the inside or outside, and which way do they bend? I have emailed pics, but still no joy. ????
I was hoping to get the broken ones replaced when I get my new rear tyre on wednesday, but it seems that won't be happening.

My question is Do I need to get the broken spokes replaced? Or is it not a major issue?

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

triumph NZ are fantastic at screwing up your life if you're depending on a part. Try out the link, yes, you need the spokes as each missing one weakens the wheel that little bit
