[Mgs] Wire wheel replacing spokes

[Hans Duinhoven]

Yes Dan it is checked.

It is not difficult nor time consuming. 

Turn the wheel and let your fingers go over the spokes. 

Loose spokes can be heard ticking in their holes.

Well adjusted spokes will show a similar sound when the wheel is turned and a handle of a screwdriver is held against the spokes.

 

Cheers

Hans

Do they check every spoke when they do the MOT? I can't imagine anyone in the US checking for something like that during our 'inspections'. Here in NJ, they don't even

do safety inspections any longer, just emissions testing.

I’ve got two chromed wire wheels, which did not pass the MOT test.

There are several lose spokes.

All nipples are solid, so is it worth while to replace all spokes (buy a replacement set)?

I’m not afraid to do the replacement work myself, as I have experience with many mopeds and bikes.

The wheels still are pretty nice.

 

Looking to a spare set of spokes (40 and 20) it seems a complete set becomes far too expensive.

Am I right?

 

Cheers,
