Hi, I broker a spoke on my front training wheel. I dont know how, I was riding and thing just popped. Luckily i was close to home because the wheel was noticeably wobbeling after that.

My question is, do i take it to the bike shop and have them replace that one spoke? Is that a proper fix? Do all the spokes need to be replaced so they are the same? No experience with this at all so I would appreciate the feedback

Thanks



I would want to know where it broke. Usually, if nothing catastrophic that you know of has happened, it's the sign of not enough tension or poor strain-relief during wheelbuilding. Do you know the origin of the wheelbuild?
