Followed by a loud clang, chain skipping, and a general cacophony of metallic noise. Pretty exciting.
Anyways, anyone have experience/know what a local bike shop would charge to rebuild the wheel with new spokes?

My hardtail is popping spokes right and left. Well one every two to three months. Shit wheels simply.
Changing a spoke isn’t that hard but it can be a fiddly process. And cumbersome. Have a look at a few spoke replacement videos to see if it is something you think you can do yourself. Depending on where the spoke broke you will need a new nippie too.
And then you really should true the wheel as well. You dont need a fancy srand for that but it helps. A zip tie, or just snything flexible that doesn’t scratch, and just hold it while you spin the wheel is enough to locate the wobbly spot. Then untighten one spoke and tighten another quarter to half turn. Spin wheel to see effect and bew worst spot. Fiddly but fun.
