I am living in Germany and use 3 bikes, one for each purpose (Road, MTB, folding bike for travelling). i am 60 years old, with this age you dont need every 2 years a new bike. In the end, I was only missing a spoke for the rim of my Stumpi. the rim is 10 years old and looks like new. unfortunately, the French manufacturer (Mavic) has gone through several bankruptcies, which has a very negative impact on the spare parts situation. the spoke seems to be sold out all over Europe and is no longer being produced. But there is still John from RogueMechanic. He was able to help! I really appreciate that, after all, for most people, cycling is a hobby that is close to nature. Do you want to throw away an entire rim just because a spoke is missing? a big thank you to rogue mechanic for their sustainable business philosophy! kind regards, michael
