http://gmbn.eu/yPAlthough it might seem daunting at first, replacing a spoke doesn't have to be a very difficult job.
Doddy talks you through the process of replacing a spoke on your mountain bike wheel here:
First remove the tyre and rim tape, particularly if you are running a tubeless set up, and the cassette or disc rotor if it is a rear wheel.
Work out the length and type of spoke you need for your wheel.
Next remove the broken, or damaged, spoke.
Thread the new spoke nipple onto the replacement spoke, and then tighten to finger tightness.
Now using a spoke key, only tighten by a quarter turn on each spoke. Also don't put too many turns on one spoke, you may need to slightly loosen the spokes on either side of the broken spoke to true the wheel properly.
Once you have got the wheel as true as possible, relieve the tension on the spokes by placing the wheel on a hard surface and leaning on the rim.
Let us know how you get on with replacing a spoke in the comments below π

About the Site π
This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. π₯
Origins of the Idea π±
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. π§
Challenges Faced π€
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. π
Creating Truly Random Links π οΈ
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
About YouTube πΊ
YouTube, an American video-sharing website based in San Bruno, California, offers a diverse range of user-generated and corporate media content. π
Content and Users π΅
Users can upload, view, rate, share, and comment on videos, with content spanning video clips, music videos, live streams, and more.
While most content is uploaded by individuals, media corporations like CBS and the BBC also contribute. Unregistered users can watch videos, while registered users enjoy additional privileges such as uploading unlimited videos and adding comments.
Monetization and Impact π€
YouTube and creators earn revenue through Google AdSense, with most videos free to view. Premium channels and subscription services like YouTube Music and YouTube Premium offer ad-free streaming.
As of February 2017, over 400 hours of content were uploaded to YouTube every minute, with the site ranking as the second-most popular globally. By May 2019, this figure exceeded 500 hours per minute. π
