Azarathal Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Why not try true the wheel? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 As above. The wheel might just have been built badly or it may simply have de-tensioned after a small bit of use. True it up, save money and learn an invaluable skill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamR28 Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 I would speak with where you bought the bike from, spokes shouldn't be coming loose after such a short amount of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys have to build the wheels in-house don't you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 We do indeed. I think Echo offer it as a service, but their wheelbuilds aren't great. All the pre-built Echo wheels we receive for general stock (not for the bikes) we have to spend around 10-15mins tweaking them to get them right, if not longer. They're never pre-stressed or anything like that so usually require a reasonable amount of work to get them right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
