Broker Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 Which LBS in Jhb or private individual is the best when it come to fixing of broken spokes and tru-ing wheels. I have now broken 4 spokes over a short period on my Easton wheels. I am now of the opinion that with every fix the tension on spokes are not even and therefor cause another spoke to break.
Sharkie 2 Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 Why not let them rebuild the wheel for?Also let them check that the rim is not oval
The Drongo Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 Send a pm to Johan Bornman What he said...
428 others Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 If I'm correct, Easton wheels may only be fixed by Omnico? Maybe phone them?
rattlesnake Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 Also had an issue with Easton Aero wheels about 6 months back, apparently was a "bad batch". I sent the wheels back to omnico to be rebuilt with double butted spokes.
no calves Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 send it back to omnico and let russel and the guys rebuild it for u
gummibear Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 That is rare for Easton wheels. Not really,seen quite a few problems with Easton wheels.
ChigginLeg Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 Try the Complete Cyclist - Sorted my Easton's out pronto. Going to Omnico means going to Apetown and that could mean weeks if not months. Also Complete Cyclist is open all the way through the holiday period.
Pieterg Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 I used Eastons and my weight was 90-95kg with on problem.Very good wheels
Delgado Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 That is rare for Easton wheels.The 70's were prone to broken spokes....something to do with the spoke not entering the rim at 90 degrees i was told.
scotty Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 The 70's were prone to broken spokes....something to do with the spoke not entering the rim at 90 degrees i was told.My Easton circuits lasted me well till the front got damaged in an accident, been using the rear together with EA70 front but have not used the rear EA70 yet.
Let's Ride Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 Try the Complete Cyclist - Sorted my Easton's out pronto. Going to Omnico means going to Apetown and that could mean weeks if not months. Also Complete Cyclist is open all the way through the holiday period. APE Town for sure!!!
BMXER Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 (edited) You have 1 choice, box them and send to Russel at OMNICO. Russel is the best with these wheels, he was trained by Easton and works majic. OMNICO have a swift turnaround time but are closed now for the holidays. Edited December 19, 2011 by BMXER
Cippo Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 APE Town for sure!!!You probably having holiday in Margate this year.
