All Things Bikes and Tacos! (...and every vehicle imaginable)

Blew up another wheel. This time an Industry Nine Enduro 305 with Torch. I'm ready to order a new rim but can I reuse these spokes?

 

Nope! Get new spokes.

 

i agree, there’s going to be some that are stressed and for the minimal amount you spend on new spokes is it worth taking a chance on running the old ones? No. If nothing else it’s peace of mind running new ones.

 

For most wheels yes but I9 spokes are like $7 each. Not stoked about that

Get a hard coffee, you’ll be a bit more stoked

 

Still thinking of a time where those will fit into my day. But I'll find a way

 

to start a weekend ride of course

For anyone unaware of what we are talking about...

 

Jeez! How did you do that? I just got them and they seem legit. Handled lots of poor line choices in Moab. I even saw a guy with the 101’s get a puncture on the edge of the rim/tire with a brand new dhr downhill casing plus cushcore. No rim damage whatsoever. On a side note, he couldn’t break the bead and put in a tube so he had to walk out.... I asked him about riding on the cushcore and he said he would on the smooth dirt which made up about .01% of the remaining trail.

 

Found someone to swap wheels with surprisingly. Can't wait to get this thing where it needs to be. Anyone have a short, zero rise stem they don't need?

 

I dont understand why those are so good, but they absolutely are!

 

My best explanation is it tastes like an alcoholic Yoo-hoo. They are amazing.

 

Ya’ll convinced me on the Hard Coffee. Now convince me on a set if i9 Enduro S Hydra’s.

also, the engagement is life changing

 

If go superboost, I’ll have a set for sale soon. Keeping them if no SB though.

 

There is no going back.

 

I'm just hard on shit. Riding a 130 bike like it's a DH bike - point and shoot

 

Well there's your problem...
