On my hybrid bike, I lost a spoke a couple of months ago (rear wheel). I have never replaced one before, but after some youtubing, figured it wouldn't be a big deal.
I managed to take the rear gears off, clean them, and get the spoke in place and tighten it up, with a few surrounding spokes, until it spun pretty well.
Fast forward to recently, and the wheel still spins true, but there are 2 or 3 spokes that are so loose that they are essentially barely attached. If I just tighten them up, it throws the wheel out of true.
Is this just an "art form" that I need to play with for awhile? It also doesn't help that my hybrid has disc brakes, so I can't really use the brake pads as a guide.
Thoughts? Side note: does anyone know where they'd do bike maintenance classes?
