One of the spokes cracked on my regamasters, is there any chance of fixing it?

anything can be "fixed" but will it stay "fixed"?...doubt it.

if i were you i would either sell the good wheels one by one or start looking for a single rega.

good luck..

Meh, I still believe these will take much more abuse than rotas before they give away, in this case I really don't know what happened, I get off the highway and start hearing a squeaking sound, only to find the cracked spoke.

Thats the funny thing, I didn't hit anything major, I only started to hear the sound after getting off the highway.

I agree it can be welded but the way those wheels are made it will crack again near the weld.It isnt gauranteed to crack again though you could get lucky and it will work out fine.

Hopefully I can find a shop that will do that, because a couple of shops said they can't fix it.

I would not even worry about fixing it,and get about ordering a replacement wheel. I had the same thing happened to me with my blitz wheels just so you know.

i agree most shops wont fix that for liability reasons, but i am sure you can grind it down a bit and weld it if you really want to. I dont recommend it
