Broken spoke from rim
Hey gang,
Ive got a 1988 panasonic and recently a spoke came off the rim. I'm assuming because it's 28 years old and i ride it in hard conditions.
They are sakae rims with 105 hubs. Can anybody recommend someone in the north altanta area that can perform a rim job that may not be too expensive?
Not aware of many shops who may work with older rim / spokes / hubs

Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter
best be is a bike co-op and you're in luck because Atlanta has one. Drop in on Sopo Bikes.
If you want to pay it forward, maybe you can volunteer some time there.

Where exactly? I've heard some people recommend going closer to the inner city.
That is a fantastic idea! I am going to do that this weekend. Thank you!

Hi Isberrios1
I'm in Cobb County, Kennesaw area and bring my wheels to Scott at Pro Wheel Builder in Cumming.
Bike wheels are all he does. He and his partner build 4000 pairs per year. They are the only place I'll bring my wheels. I can't promise that he will work on wheels that old but it is worth a phone call. If he can't/won't then he should be able to point you in the right direction.
SOPO might be worth going to but expect them to either hand you a new wheel or even a new bike or to tell you to take a hike, depending on how you are dressed and what kind of car you pull up in. I think there is a MARTA stop nearby. Check the website for the location because they moved. They are in Reynoldstown now.

You guys are disgusting.
Your father's obviously did the bare minimum when raising you.

I googled what i was told to google and to say the least, what i found was very unpleasant.
I appreciate those who gave good advice. And to the others, you guys are sick
