Have been very disappointed! For the
third time during this tour a spoke broke in my rear wheel. The first
one I had repaired in northern Queensland, where I bought some spares
to be prepared just in case. So the second one I repaired myself in
Newcastle, just a week ago and on our way to Palm Beach another one
snapped. How can this happen to a bike like ours.
With the help of our warmshowers host I
found a bike shop where they re-spoked the wheel completely. Most of
the spokes were rusted. It seems that some years ago a batch of bad
spokes has been sold all over the world. According to the bike shop
owner it has happened to all bike manufactures and brands, so the
manufacturer of our bikes is not to blame. But still.......
