    hey guys, was out on a 65k cycle and arrived home to a broken spoke, i dont know how long it was broken but the rim looks to be in good condition and not bent, can it be repaired at all, if so where abouts and will it cost a fortune? appreciate the help!!:)

    Take it to your LBS - assuming fairly standard spokes they should hopefully have them in stock. Getting it fixed and the wheel trued should not be particularly expensive - perhaps around €15

    If a spoke broke and you didn't even notice then I'm guessing it's a traditional wheel with 32 spokes - that makes it a lot more likely you'll get it replaced easily...

    You're in D15 a bit right? Try the new shop in Blanchardstown village (cyclezone? is it?). I know they build wheels so they should have no problem putting a new spoke in for you.
