It's pretty simple. Ya just switch to your back up wheel set till ya fix the broken spoke.
There is no leaving it at the shop or even taking it to the shop. Ya fix it yourself. Granted the first time I replaced a broken rear spoke it took me about 2 1/2 hours. Half of that time was getting the wheel true after replacing it.
Now days its a one hour job if that. Plus the satisfaction of knowing it was done right because ya did it yourself.
Bike shops? We don't need no stinking Bike Shops... But then again I sure wish there was one close by. It would also be nice if they served Coffee and Beer... Ha
