Title: Elitewheels Drive 50V frayed spoke
Post by: Highco on July 16, 2025, 03:40:46 AM

Hey guys,

I need your help and knowledge. After doing some maintenance on my rim brake bike I noticed one of the carbon spokes on my rear wheel looking damaged. After closer inspection I noticed that one of the carbon spokes was starting to fray.

It seems too dangerous to continue riding it like that so I contacted elitewheels for a instruction/manual how to replace it. I haven't heard back from them after their first response.

Maybe some of you have encountered a similar issue and can help me with ideas.

Thanks in advance!

With this hub design, the wheel very well may rapidly dissasemble itself if one spoke fails at the wrong time. You shouldn't keep riding this. You can get replacement spokes from elite and this looks like something that should be covered under warranty.
