I’ve got a couple of broken spokes and the wheel is now a bit out of true. Not done it before but fitting spokes seems simple but getting the wheel back into shape – is this something I need the LBS to do for me?

Good luck, let us know how you get on,

Thanks. I’ll give it a go – after the walk to the bike shop for the spokes. Calling at another shop on the way for guitar strings. I must stop breaking things.
