grrrr, last nights rear end mash has trashed hanger, mech and chain and having fixed them I've now discovered a broken spoke.
So Orange 5 (05 straight top tube) hope hubs, WTB speed disc rims - presumably spokes are by shape, length and diameter and colour ?
Is it likely that the spoke broke inside the nipple, I'm suggesting this as there appears to be only about 2mm of thread on end of spoke and no matter what I try it won't screw into the nipple, so presumably new spoke and nipple - ? are nipples a standard size
Thanks

Take the broken spoke and nipple to your LBS and ask them to find a matching one(taking into account 5s often had longer nipples than standard 12mm, so they'll need to check how far into the nipple the spoke goes).
