What causes a bike to run with a Broken Spoke?
Let’s go back to basics to explain the causes of a broken spoke. The wheels of bikes have rims. Each rim has a series of spokes connected to it. Half of the spokes pull to the left and the other half pull to the right. These keep tension on the rim and cause the wheel to run ‘ true .’
Can you ride a bike with one spoke missing?
It’s possible to ride a bike with just one spoke missing for several months, but the longer it goes un-repaired, the more damage will be done. Other spokes will come loose.
How much does it cost to repair a bike spoke?
The spoke itself is between $1-2 to buy. (which is why you should repair your wheel before it starts to buckle). Some bike shops will also put on workshops that teach cyclists how to do this so check with your local store. If you’re not 100%, it may be best taking the bike to a repair shop.
Why was Tubular Bells not re-released in 2003?

The release of Tubular Bells 2003 took place in the year when Oldfield celebrated his 50th birthday and the 30th anniversary of the original version.
