I popped a spoke today so I’ll be attempting the challenge on as-is wheels with one front spoke replaced. My 78 Motobecane also has galvanized spokes and every nipple turned so it was worth reaching the breaking point here. I have a fantasy of putting some Mavic tubular rims on these lowly Normandy hubs so it’s all good.
