Yeah, sorry, maybe should have included post about last night. I felt a big wobble in the back wheel and noticed that it wasn't true. I did the best I could trueing it while I was at work. That was when I noticed one spoke just dangling. Then I looked closer and saw 2 more that were still in there, but were about to pop off.

Or at least I guessed they were because the little flange? the circle? that is wider then the spoke that holds the spoke onto the hub was gone on two of them. They were still in the hub, but i'm sure were waiting for one good pothole to pop out. I got a ride home to be safe when I realized it was one spoke gone, two ready to go.

Shop has fixed it now, but as mentioned by you all I'm worried the others may have been stressed and they'll start braking too.

Is the consensus that I could go to a 3 cross instead of the 2? Or does that seem like a no go? Someone did post a picture and that is what it is. Thanks again.
