bummer about the clogged up gear. spokes are pretty hardy fellows as long as you dont kink them. if the bend is gradual its fine. id imagine even if they are kinked they should hang tough til you hear that special "ping!".

in my experience you get spoke fatigue failure at the elbow and failure mid-spoke if it has corrosion damage which weakened it. you should be fine though.
