  1. I have recently noticed that the spokes on my onza/kh have become loose
    and started creaking really bad, is this fixable? i'll take it in to my
    lbs and c if they can tighten my spokes as i dont know how to do this
    myself. is it a hard job 2 do?

  2. Not hard really...But it can be a hassle if a lot of them are
    loose...For this first time take it to the LBS and ask them to tighten
    them but ask if you can watch and have them explain the process. They
    probly wont mind. Then before you leave buy a spoke key($5-$10) and
    then next time they get loose just tweak em a little tighter.

  4. If they wont let you watch or have to keep it to do the next day...Buy a
    spoke key and send me a PM and i can try to walk you through it.

  5. I've had the same problem with my KH/Onza hub/spokes. I just tighten
    them when they get loose 😉

    Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total
    obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and
    through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see
    its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will
    remain.

    They put on panda suits and then pretend they're milking a cow. It's
