Broken spokes
Hey all. I searched and could not find anything. I now have 3 broken spokes on my rear wheel. Any idea where I can get some better replacements. 800km and I didn't think I would have this much trouble with the bike.

Looked at aliexpress, they don't list 18" wheel spokes. Anyone think the hawk copied the Yamaha xt250?

Spokes are sold by length ,end style ,and gauge as far as I remember ,not by wheel size .remove a spoke ,measure it up then search from there .

You need to talk to Spud, he knows his spokes and wheel lacing. Search spokes in this forum.

It has been a long time for me but I think they go through the back of rim because they have lip. You also need the tire off to true the rim properly.

that sounds like more work than just pulling the tire.

I just figured if I could fish them through with the wheel on it would be less work. Might as well do chain, tire and sprocket while I am at it.
