Now, as I'm doing my end-of-season maintenance, I see that all but four of the drive side spokes were damaged, so it seems best to replace them all.
Thanks for your detailed instructions. I'll study them a bit and see if I can get my head wrapped around this. On first reading, it almost sounds like it would be easier to replace all the spokes and rebuild the wheel entirely.

Yes, I have a tensionmeter. I've built two pairs of wheels, so I've got a tiny bit of experience with the process. I'd appreciate hearing your method.
