But, let's say I do want to get a new one. Are they all a standard size, or will I have to pick one in the right size? And how much do they cost?
They should all fit... but that's actually a good question. I can't seem to find one online... and have no clue what the proper term for it is called. Your LBS should have one, and I wouldn't imagine it costing more than $5.
Either way, if your derailleur is properly adjusted you should never need one. Or just never shift into the bigger cogs (low gears are for wussies).
BC... you have a picture of that wheel? I actually wonder what it looks like to have catastrophic spoke destruction from a rogue chain..
