Mrs Cee’s ’98 laser is quite a smart car, she’s had it for years and looks after it well, anyway doing the once over yesterday morning before I went down the street I saw a “grease” line on the on the spokes on her 5 spoke CSA alloys, went to wipe it of and discovered the spoke has snapped, right in the middlebwtween the hub boss and the rim edge. No marks on the rim, she says she hasn’t hit any potholes, which generally if hit hard enough will do the rim in anyway, got me buggered I mean it used to happen years ago with magnesium rims, but these are cast alloy. Just happy I saw it before she went on one of her “I speed everywhere, because the police don’t care about an old lady in a little car” drives to the next town.
Got me beggared how this could happen, So has anyone seen this before?
