hi there ,i tried this in another section but no replies
here is hoping someone can help ?

I've had to tighten the spokes on the rear wheel after every time i go out. A few now have to be replaced and I see on 1 or 2 they have made the hole on the rim a little bigger. Will I need to replace the rim? Will I be able to repair with new spokes or will I send it out to get wheel rebuilt?. ive heard this is an issue with the 04 model ?

It's also a issue with the 05 that I have. After ever ride I always check them.

I had spoke troubles too. A honda parts man told me to tighten one spoke 1/8th of a turn, skip 4 and tighten,skip 4 and tighten until all the spokes have been touched.I used a paper clip to mark each starting point. I did this procedure twice and the spokes stay tight now.
