While we are on the topic of spokes and nipples...

I am going to attempt to straighten the rear wheel on the White Eldo over
the weekend.....has a little wobble to it. I use to work in a bicycle shop
and am familiar with the process of straightening the wheel.

Any tips/suggestions?

Ciao....Ian

BTW you are right ,anyone who wouldn't advise you to replace ALL the
spokes is NOT doing you any favors. The nipples are the weak spot. Where
there are 3 broken 10 more are almost broken .

I don't have any spares, but Buchannan sells kits of new stainless
spokes and nipples for about $96 (I think that is what I was quoted for
one kit for each wheel, complete)
I would think that if you have 3 visibly cracked ones, you may
have more
 that are borderline or cracked but you can't see.
