Followed by a loud clang, chain skipping, and a general cacophony of metallic noise. Pretty exciting.

Anyways, anyone have experience/know what a local bike shop would charge to rebuild the wheel with new spokes?

My local shop lists all their prices, here's what they have:

True wheel $25
True wheel major/ spoke install (single spoke only) $30
Spoke Install w/ Tune (or multiple Install Surcharge) $15
Build wheel $100

Thanks! My local shops seem to be more discreet and I have recently made the mistake of going to a manufacture bike store that charge a flat fee like car dealerships. Just trying to get a rough estimate.
