    Re: Todays Bike Ride

    Snapped spoke on way to work yesterday. Wheel is a Shimano. SpoKe is a flat bladed job (290mm straight pull apparently) with red nipple. Had trouble with 2 shops unable to produce one in their shop. Advised to buy online and they would fit and true.

    Q - Presume it needs to be a replacement flat bladed spoke and a 'normal' round spoke would not do ...or is that just for aesthetics?
    Q - Presume the spoke would not need to be Shminao specific?

    Trawling web yesterday indicated that it would not be that easy to purchase. Will give Ribble a call to see if they have a few to buy.

    Re: Todays Bike Ride

    Appeal for help! Anyone an whizzo on shimano shifters? I've got an ultegra set on my road bike and it has develped a problem on the handlebar levers for the rear mech. essentially, the little lever 'picks up' the big brake lever when I am trying to change up which results in failed indexing. If I hold the brake lever and move the little lever, the indexing still works but of course, you can't do that as you are riding! The cable is running free so it seems like something is snagging within the handlebar unit. Any clues please?
