Changing a broken spoke! Tightening the spokes and truing the rim Hawk 250
I finally found a place that sold what looked to be the correct spokes for the Hawk 250. R does not sell them, just the entire rim assembly which is cheap enough but I wanted to see if I could do just the spoke and re align the rim / tighten the spokes.
So it was not that bad of a job, did not have to take the tire off, but did have to remove a few other spokes to get the new spoke in place. NO MORE WOBBLE!
I am not saying this it the PROPER way to change the spokes or straighten the rim if it's out. It worked fine for me! Of course do your own research and decide what way you want to do your own repairs.

This keeps the links for all the parts more accurate. These I use and install on ALL my videos. I do not sell any of the items listed. (except maybe a T-shirt once I make them)
