Vintage Apollo - Broken Wheel
Hi everyone,
I know nothing about bikes and this is my first post.
I've got a very old Apollo bike and the spokes in the back wheel have come lose. The wheel now appears to be out of alignment and is hitting the brake callipers.
Would anyone happen to know how I might go about replacing the wheel on such an old bike?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Joel

Bring it (either just the wheel or the whole bike) to a bike shop and let them assess the situation. It may be that the wheel just needs the spokes adjusted ("truing"), or a replacement wheel.
