Note: My Eagle has been down for a few weeks now \ud83d\ude41 I need replacement spokes. Until I can get some made for me or get some shipped here from home, I am stuck trying to cobble a fix together with the MAPP gas torch I resigned myself to having to buy (some of you may recall I welded spokes back together on occasion back in the States until I could get a few more from Jim Spillane who has since moved and does not know where stuff like this is buried as yet). It’s a slow process because I do not have a shop or my tools here and have to wait for good weather to do anything (at the expense of riding) on either of my bikes. Not to mention the fact that I am having a hard time locating solder with a reasonably high silver content. Ugh…….<\/div>\n
