    If you can thread it back in and get it up to tension - just hand feel it compared to the other spoke - should be fine for a while unless you're really heavy, it has very few spokes or you huck yourself off jumps with it. If it's borked, one of the next trip should be to getting it fixed. It's not going to fail catastrophically on you, most likely, but it probably won't be too long until the other spokes or rim get even more bent out of shape, compounding the problem. Easy fix now.

    I ended up at a shop for an unrelated reason, the man said they didn't have a spoke repair kit.

    The unrelated reason being that what google translate said was a mudguard broke and I needed something to stop it from scraping the tire.


  • I love soundway records. I've been onto them for years. Compilations do have their issues though. For one, there's a bottleneck, I've found it difficult to click through to get individual projects from featured artists. Secondly, sometimes when you do get through it sounds different which raises another issue: did the medium become the message? Are these labels simply marketing existing music to a new market or is the content changed in its commodification. The rift between how absent the accordion is on these projects compared to it's historical prominence is just one example of how that might play out.

    I guess one of the paradoxes is I want music to listen to offline but all methods require being yet more online.
