Review on πŸ”§ Enhanced FIBERFIX Spoke Replacement Kit for Emergency Situations by Philip Latham

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It's good to know that you have something to fix a broken spoke.

I haven't used it, thank goodness! but I know of others who rave about it. It takes up minimal pocket space but is good insurance in the event of a spoke failure. I am a touring cyclist and losing a spoke can be frustrating and many modern road bikes can only have 14 spokes and one of them gets in the way and because it takes up so little space there really is no reason not to carry it around. Easy to use but I'd suggest you watch some YouTube videos to see how it's used. It's a lot easier to understand by watching someone do it than by reading the instructions and trying to figure it out. The instructions will become clearer after watching a few videos. Some people might think they're just taking spare steel spokes, fine, but then you need to take a tool to remove the cassette, with FiberFix spokes you don't need any tools other than the needle. a wrench, which should be there anyway, since you don't have to remove the cassette. When you're touring or just biking on a long trip you don't want to carry around a cassette eject tool, these things aren't small and take up quite a bit of space, not to mention the added weight. A fiber knitting needle is also very light, it can even be smaller than a regular knitting needle. As I said, I know the FiberFix spoke works because I personally know 2 people who have had to use them and this led them to the bike shop. .
