Laurence--Trials Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 So i broke 8 spokes in my rear wheel and want to get it fixed.. i have two local halfords stores and needed to know if they sell spokes. I know there is a few people on here who work there so thought it would be worth while asking. I asked here because i HATE their website.

N.Wood Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Ring your local store? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 They'll sell spokes, but whether or not they've got the number/sizes you need is another question. Work out what length/s you need and either give them a call or pop in and see what they've got Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ross87 Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Hi, I have worked for Halfords for many years. Started as a mechainc now i am running the place. (not being big headded, just letting you know i have experience) We do not sell spokes off the shelf but if you pop into your local store and tell them what size you need they will be able to order them for you through their repair system from one of our suppliers (Mavic or Sram probably) Beware though. Halfords can only get spoke in packs of 100. So your local store may get confused and charge you for 100. Hope this helps. Thats helpful. Thats Halfords! (to quote our new motto! lol!)

Andeee Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Walk into halfords once.... n see this blonde bird who was quite hot but my god she did not know what she was doing.... Me: Exscuse me love do you sell tiger seal? Lass: "Looks at all the shelfs" Lass: Erm just bare with me a few secs Lass goes round asking every staff member who were young/newbie if they did it... None of them knew.... She then comes back.... Lass: Is it for your tyres? Me: -.- ( Thinking am i gonna pretend she did not just say that) Not to slag them of like... but that is my awkward/bad experience with them... I know tigerseal is not bike related unless you intend on stick your frame back together lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
