Cool, Spook wheels should look way better. 2018 is very new. The dealer should have a list of options. Also, try J&P Cycles they sell aftermarket parts and have a fitment check to make sure the parts you order fit your bike. I use them all the time for my 1994 FLSTC. I just checked there website and it looks like you may have some options. Remember after entering your bike the search is in the top right of the page. https://www.jpcycles.com/?mrkgcl=444&mrkgadid=178517533&rkg_id=0&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=J+and+P_cycles&utm_campaign=Brand+-+J+and+P+Cycles&utm_content=text&adpos=1t1&creative=230501111991&device=c&matchtype=e&network=g&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIvo_Wvbr_4AIVj7bACh2wrwqxEAAYASAAEgLvGvD_BwE#

SOURCE: Will the tire size 235/40/R18 fit on my 2000 Oldsmobile Alero?

Take your Alero to any reputable tire dealer and they will assist you in hopes of selling you something. Just tell them you want an estimate and that you want to be sure you won't have a rubbing problem with this change.

Disregarding which side of the rim the spoke is attached to, you pull the wheel toward the side you want to move it on the flange end.

Replace the spokes on my huffy 18 speed 27 inch bicycle

building and truing wheels is a specialized skill that takes a lot of practice. Most manufacturers use robots to build the wheels to save on labor costs. To have a human build a wheel can cost more than $50 per wheel for the labor. Spokes retail for about $1-$2 a piece and include a brass nipple. Spokes also come in different gauges. Most bike shops that sell spokes usually only carry a few sizes in stainless steel.



If you are only replacing one or two spokes you can take the broken spoke to a bike shop and they can measure it and hopefully have the right size in stock to sell you a replacement. Use the right size spoke wrench for your spokes to unscrew the nipple from the broken spoke, you will then be able to remove (spokes can be very flexible and will bend a lot to get them out of the hub). Observe the adjacent spokes and the lacing pattern to re-install the spoke in the hub and thread it into the new nipple that came with the replacement spoke. Put the wheel back in the frame and use the brake pads as a reference guide to tighten and true the adjacent spoke nipples until the wheel no longer rubs on the brake pads and you are satisfied.



My personal opinion is that on a Huffy, it is faster, cheaper and easier to buy a replacement wheel from your local bike shop for $35-$45. The spokes, rims and hubs used on Huffy's are of very low quality (most don't even use stainless steel spokes) and a new replacement wheel from your local bike shop (LBS) will be ten times better than trying to fix the old original equipment, IMHO.

The rim should not cause any problem - but you'll need different length spokes.

Rear hubs and front hubs are different widths, have different height hub flanges, and different amounts of "dish" (offset from the center of the hub body.

If your hubs and rims are in good shape; go ahead and re-use them; but you'll need help measuring or want to use a spoke calculator online for the correct length spokes.

Hi ! Bicycle Model : Trek 7.1 fx Wheel question What is the size of spokes and nipple for this model

More important than the bicycle model is the exact hub and rim models and specs.

At http://www.trekbikes.com/us/en/bikes/town/fitness/fx/7_1_fx#/us/en/model/details?url=us/en/bikes/town/fitness/fx/7_1_fx

I found this: "Alloy hubs; Bontrager 750 32-hole double-wall alloy rims"

which is STILL not specific enough to answer your question. Spokes come in measurements down to the millimeter and on the rear wheel the drive side differs from the non-drive side.

Measure them yourself or go online and look for a "spoke length calculator" then try to plug in the specifics of your wheels OR measure your spokes.

Or ask Trek...

A spoke on the rear wheel has snapped off how can I repair it?

Simply buy a replacement spoke. Unscrew the dustcap on the tyre valve and deflate the tyres inner tube. Remove tyre using tyre levers(as you do to repair a puncture). Next remove the inner tube to reveal the spoke tensioners. undo the tension nut and allow the broken spoke to fall out, feed the other part of the broken spoke out of the hub. feed the replacement spoke through the hub and into the hole on the wheel rim. Now screw on the tensioning nut to the spoke.Tighten up to the same tension as the other spokes. replace inner tube and tyre, then reinflate. Viola!
