After going to pull away with the d-lock still on the rear wheel, (i know, silly but i'm sure i'm not the first!!) I now have a bent spoke...

Can this be a diy bend-back fix or will it need professional help?

Thanks

Chris

Hey Chris !! It will depend on how bent it is, can you post a pic and give the Xperts on here a bit more to go on !! just my thoughts, if its slightly bent i would leave it alone untill you need a new tyre and get it sorted then, if its well bent it will need replaced !!

hope this helps !!

No expert, but my last bike had two bent spokes, I left them alone and they stayed good.
Just keep an eye on them, cos if one decides to ping, a few others will follow
