Monday, on the way into work, I broke a spoke in my front wheel. It put the wheel out of true, so I had to open the front brake. I had to be cautious with just my rear brake on the way home. It was just a little nerve wracking.

Yesterday, I bought a replacement spoke for the one that broke on Monday. I bought it at the LBS near work. At night, I put it in and got the front wheel back together and re-engaged my front brake.

I didn't ride in because I'm singing in a concert tonight in Brooklyn, and I don't want to take the extra hour riding there does compared with taking the subway.

I placed an order from my spoke supplier, since he custom cuts them and charges a good rate for high quality spokes. I ordered 32 spokes so I can completely rebuild my wheel. It's time, since I expect these spokes will keep breaking.
