Question About FiberFix Emergency Spoke Repair Kit
I'm convinced I want one of these for my tool kit, but I'm going to want to do a practice run on an old wheel before I get stuck on the road. Does the kit come with only enough parts for one repair?

I have one.
The kit can repair one spoke,but it's reuseable. |
I have one and ended up borrowing it to a friend when he popped a spoke. I wouldn't want to do a century that way, but it got him home. I'm a believer.

Yes, the idea is that the repair will get you to the next bike shop where you can get a regular spoke of the right type/length. Then you replace the Fiberfix spoke and it's ready to use again if you have another spoke break.

So the spoke doesn't stretch too far to be reliable when it's re-used?
Also, can i buy one in a bike shop, or do I have to order online? |
