Or you could rebuild your wheel with good spokes Carlos

I turned my Wave2 into an Ian Schwartz frame. Am now running an Animal wedge mod post and a Cult pivotal

Took apart my shitty one piece cranks in my fixer upper fixed gear and packed that shit full of grease. I now have a pretty solid bike. Also put toe clips on.

Rode to the gas station with both hands on my bars!

Tire ripped away from the wire bead (old Zeppelin) and blew out my new tube

Ripped the back wheel off, stripped it down ready for a new tire whenever I get one.
Cranks were creaking aswell so had them off and jigged it about, gave them a clean and moved some spacers about and its all good again.
Took the pegs off just to make it easier to move/shove in the storage space it lives in.

Considered taking the tire off the front and moving it to the back so most of the annoying shit like chain tension and brakes were sorted but changed my mind as sods law id rip the tube or fuck up the tire in the process and be even more stuffed!

Yeah theyre awesome, I haven't been there in a while but last year I was Chuck's apprentice and he showed me how to build and true wheels, then afterwards alot of San Jose bike dudes would come to me asking me to build or true their wheels

Put a pair of cult vans grips on. Might get some tanwall tires and switch back to 2.125/1.95 tires.

Snapped my seat post bolt by over tightening it and cracked my s4 stem.... It seemed so gooood....

Wrangled those Ligera tires onto my camwood. Bike looks 10000000 times better. Might have pics up sometime. But the tires feel amazing for the half hour I rode it.

Slapped a clearance odyssey principle seat on her Ian, put in new headset bearings and made a bottom dust cover out of a folding Koozie. Help prolong the life.
Some Silver trailmixes too.
