I spoke with a local wheelbuilder a while back (when I was thinking about a Giant OCR) who told me that if you broke a spoke they had to be sent back to the factory to have the spoke redone due to the hub end of the spoke being threaded as well as the nipple end. I never double checked this info (and didn't check to see if the model on the F2C was like this or not) but my LBS also said not to worry. I'm a bit gun shy as my first bike was a Specialized with Alex rims that imploded after a season but all my friends who upgraded years ago have had no problems so I'm not going to worry about it as Velomax is a quality name.
