New Spokes or New Wheel?
I have a 1980 Univega road bike, which I bought brand new in Pacific Beach, CA. for $200. At the time, I thought $200 for a bike was a fortune! Over the years, the bike has served me well. It came with steel spokes which soon rusted, so I had my LBS install stainless spokes. Never had any problem until recently, when I started breaking spokes. (3 so far) It looks like my spokes are finally failing after 20,000 miles (estimate). My LBS guy said it would be cheaper to buy a brand new wheel than have all the spokes replaced. Do you agree?
