Quick question Anonymous 2016-07-04 07:18:42 Post No. 976050 [Report]
I just got a mostly finished mountain bike, but the back wheel is missing 3 spokes(I don't have any mtb wheels to swap either)I rode it about a quarter mile home, now my question is, is this safe to ride gently 5 miles to my LBS so I can respoke and true my wheel? Or should I just bungie the wheel to my road bike and take it down? Because I also wanted to tune up my bike there since they have way more tools and they let me use a station and all their gear when I need work. I could respoke it and take it home, then ride the mtb, but I don't want to if it isn't going to taco my rim to ride on 3 spokes.

Picture semi related.

If you are not grossly overweight, the wheel is quite true at the moment and you ride carefully avoiding bumps and such you should be fine.

People ride hundreds of miles with broken spokes. But don't do that. It only gives you more broken spokes in the long run.

Best solution however would be to take the wheel on your other bike.

Thanks, yeah I probably will just take my raleigh instead of the mtb, I looked at it again and the rim isn't quite true but it probably won't be salvageable if it bends more...

That's a light that I didn't bother screwing into the handle bar since this was taken the first time I rode that bike and it was like noon
