Did I jinx myself ...  :eek:   :whistling:

 

 

Few months back I broke a spoke on the rear wheel.  I remember a distinct hum-HUM-hum-HUM-hum-HUM, off beat sound from the rear freewheeling down a steep section .... the Scot has a very distinct constant hum, this off-beat caught my attention.

 

 

Last Sunday I heard that same off-beat hum-HUM on the tar section back home.  Nothing looked out of place though.

 

Did a proper wash and lube tonight .... and while checking the spoke tensions the one rear spoke, visually still perfectly in place, pops out from the hub side !  :eek:

 

 

Still the original rims that comes with the 940, 2018 model.

 

 

Is it time to rather ask for a complete wheel rebuild, all new spokes ?  Taking it to Mark's Workshop.

 

 

 

off course this is the LAST thing I checked before putting the wheel back into the frame .... having cleaned, and lubed the chain, washed and polished the frame.  At least Mark cant say I am bringing him a dirty bike ....  :w00t:   :whistling:

 

 

 

O-well, guess I am doing Whatopia tomorrow, instead of my real Sunday morning solo trail ride ... first world problems ... :P
