Had posted this on the ownership thread but no response there. Hence creating a new thread!
I broke a Spoke sometime last week on my RE-CGT. I hardly noticed it until it was was noticed by the watchman who washes the bike!! It's a rear spoke & I was in a hurry so still managed to ginigerly drive out to office. Now it's been almost 5days or so(i think) that I'm riding the bike with the broken spoke!!! cause I went to 2 service stations closeby and none have the rear spokes, not even a single spoke! They have front ones but not the rear. I was told by them that the regular Enfield CL500 or thunderbird spokes cannot be used on this & that GT has a Special spoke!! Which no one here seems to have...
Can anyone confirm that indeed the other enfield spokes cannot be used even as a stop gap! I was told that the following code spokes only will work - 585301/b 585302/b.
Are these standard spokes which can be found in the aftermarket somewhere? with motorcycle wheel builders or are these special spokes & I have to wait indefinitely for them.
None of the Bombay Spares have them can anyone from Bangalore or Chennai help me out! if it's not too much of a trouble??
I really do not wish to ride my bike like this with a broken spoke but I'm outta options as my palio is also gone for a full restoration!!!
