Huzzah, my first broken spoke.
Wasn't really a crash, just one of those ones where you run down the hill and the bike tumbles down and lands on top of you. A spoke was broken on the rear wheel when I picked the bike up.
These wheels are getting on in years.. I just did a google search to find the ERD for the rim, and found a ridemonkey post where I had asked the same question when I first built the wheels in 2004.
So the question is, do I just replace the broken spoke or do I replace all the spokes? I think the rim is still good. Seems like they might all be about ready to snap.
