as i replaced my first spoke, and trued the wheel (it was only slightly warped). I used a printout of the bicycletutor site, only read it once, before going to the shop and getting a spoke, came back home, did the whole job injust less than 30 mins!, when refitted i couldnt see any change in gap between brake pads at all...
however, while at the shop, i asked about these breaking (its the second, bike is not quite 4 months old) and he said the spokes werent all that good quality, but even though, they should be lasting longer than this, and said more would probably go in future.. He recommended that i take the wheel back and the shop would probably just swap it.
however, i bought this bike off the net, althought it is an lbs, and not just online, the prob is that its in london, and would cost me about 25 squids to get there/back or to have it delivere, so, is it really worth returning given that the new wheel would undoubtably have the same spokes anyway, and may not even cure the problem?????
