    Quick question, I noticed a spoke broke on my wheel yesterday after I returned from a spin and went to wheel it to the shed the rear wheel was badly warped.

    Is the wheel done for or will a new spoke straighten it out?

    Cheers

    A new spoke should sort it. It's pulled to one side because tension has been lost on the side with the broken spoke.

    Your LBS will easily repair it.

    A spoke costs about a euro, fairly eay to change, tighten it up and it should pull it back into shape
