Hi,
On my 700C rear wheel (Giant PR2 I think), one of the spokes has snapped, see pic.
I think it was just fatigue, I'm convinced I didn't bump into anything...So strange that I only noticed it this morning before setting off for work - when I rode home last night I didn't notice any clanking noise or anything wrong with the back wheel. Really weird.
Also, the wheel is now off-true...when spun, it rubs against one of the brake blocks once per rev.
Can someone advise me on how to repair it, please? Do most bike shops sell spokes?
I do have a spoke tool + tools for removing the cassette.
Thanks in advance
