tough week for riding with a broken bike

broke a spoke or so I thought last Friday during a Christmas lights / gathering toys of tots ride. brakes were rubbing and took the bike to the shop because I thought it was just a broken spoke. Turns out I ovalized the wheel and no amount of tightening was going to fix it. Or he said it would be so tight that when it does break it will break more spokes. Sure sucks but Looks like I am purchasing my second set of wheels in 2016. Thinking about these


the nipples are corroding on the spokes. any advice as to ways to prevent this?


Road my Cervelo this morning to work much faster and bit colder due to speed haha felt weird to have a bike respond even in the cold to 28F to acceleration etc.
