Replacing a bent spoke
I have a set of Vuelta XRP Pro wheels. On the rear wheel 1 spoke is bent due to chain breaking.
I wonder if I can replace the spoke and still have wheels just as strong and just as balanced? I don't have a spoke torque tool.

Yeah, it's not too hard to do. I'm thinking that once you remove your cassette you'll find that you have more than 1 spoke to replace. Finding the exact, right replacement spokes may be the most difficult part of the project.
