Removing gears to change a spoke.

    I have a broken spoke which is causing a buckle in my back wheel. It is next to the gears so I have to remove them. Do I need a special tool to do this? I have heard of cassette tools and chain whips. Can it be done with standard tools in anyway?
    If not, what is a resonable price to pay a shop to do it for me? Also can I adjust the other spokes to sort out the buckle or should I just leave them for the moment.

    I get my buckles fixed at Little Sport in Fairview, just at the pedestrian bridge near the Port Tunnel works. Luckily I work nearby.
    It costs 5 euro each time!! I drop it off on the way to work (they open 9am, though they have taken it in as early as 8:40) and pick it up before they close at 5 or 5:30.

    you will need those specialist tools - and a little guidance. As for prices, dunno, sounds like a good one just above /\/\/\ though it may be completely impractical for you to get there
