Over the past 20+ years I have broken more than 15 spokes (not at the same time). I had 4 broken at a tire shop by some gorilla working there. Harbor Freight sells a rig for less than $40 (watch for their sales) to remove the tire from the rim. Usually, you
don't have to remove the tire, just pop the seal and push inward to access the end of the spoke. Sometimes you need to remove the spokes on either side to replace broken one. Tighten by sound of all the spokes around the replaced one. I have heard of driving
on 4 broke spokes. <br>
