I got some spokes and basic tools. A shop popped the cassette off for me at no charge cause I didn't have the money to buy the tools or pay them for spokes, installation, and any trueing. I got it got the spokes on ok (missed the pattern on one, such a rookie!) I got the rim pretty straight I didn't mess with too many spokes just the two that were broke and one that felt like it was going to fall out. I brought it back into the shop to ask them to take a quick look and found out that all the spokes on the drive side were way way too tight. Weird cause it's a new bike this year, I don't I didn't touch them. Oh well dude was cool and did a quick fix best he could for next to no cost and showed me explained to me the issue. Cheapest education I ever paid for. Needless to say I missed my commute 2 days, but tomorrow is going to be nice! Thanks for the advice.
