Dear CR Friends,
The Normandy/Mavic Montlery rear wheel that came with my 69 PX-10 suffered a spoke incident bending 5 on the drive side.
I removed them and measured them at 306/307 mm long.
They were 0.062" to 0.066" (not very round) with butted ends at 0.070 to 0.072" (15/16/15).
The end stamps looks like a capitol E, but are a bit hard to make out.
Can anyone tell me who made them? Edco?
Does anyone have a few this size and brand they can sell to me?
Last time I did this I noticed replacing the 'outeys' was much easier than the 'inneys'
What is the trick to lace a replacement spoke among its peers without bending the heck out of it?
Of course I loosened them all to get the bent ones out w/o warping the rim.
I searched CR, BOB & Sheldon, but never found any explanation how to get a replacement threaded without damaging it.
Is there a guide published somewhere or do you have any words to the wise?
Thank you,
