Spridgeteers,

I have a broken spoke on my right rear wire wheel. I have a 
replacement spoke and nipple. Is there a way to push the tire 
sidewall out of the way to get at the old nipple and insert the new 
nipple and spoke? Or do I have to remove the tire completely? If so, 
can this be done with tire irons at home or do I need to have the 
tire shop remove the tire?

Has anyone on this list done either technique or some other way?

TIA,

Jeff
