If you bought it new at a dealer, go back and insist on a new wheel (or at least a spoke/rim rebuild)--it'll be under warranty. Don't let them just replace the busted spokes...it'll just keep breaking. Fuji knows about this problem.
Wow, thanks for the info, I didn't know it was a Fuji problem. I did buy the bike new at a dealer. I had just been replacing the spokes myself, so it hasn't really cost me more than a couple bucks so far.

I'm kind of in a race to repair it (I'm riding in the MS150 this weekend), so I already bought a new wheel. I have another frame that doesn't have any wheels right now, so at least I'll have a use for it if I can get the dealer to replace the busted one.
