Another spoke gone ping....

I don't know actually, will have to check!
I'd noticed it was out of line (true) when I started my ride before the accident lol, as my brakes were binding a little bit. Whether it was snapped before or after the accident I don't know, but as I came down on a flat surface, and my body was the brake... I doubt it was broken by the tumble.
If it's not a new spoke that's gone, what's the cost? (don't forget I've had a 'service' already).

Uneven spoke tension is the root of most spoke breakage problems. Get a proper wheel builder to check it over.
Well.. I just took too the bus and then walked to Halfords to drop my wheel off today. Hopefully it will be ready by tomorrow (as I cycle to work Monday). Although I just realised now that they have my wrong mobile number d'oh!!!
I just need the wheel to work for the minute. I can't afford much at the minute as had a big vet bill last month :-( (Dogs moved country and haven't got insurance yet).
I've seen some Alexrims on ebay with centre lock disc capability. Is there a BASIC (cheap but reliable) centre lock disc sytem that people would recommend? (I'm fed up of v-brakes now in the wet they are awful).
