Spoke replacement of LitePro S42 406 Rear Rim
Hello. Is there any way I can repair the spoke of this rim? The just broke off. No dent in rim base visual. Maybe tension is not correct and goes over the hump then it just broke off.

Broken spoke should be an easy fix at any bike shop. You may have to call several to find one that has a small enough spoke or one that can make a small enough spoke. My older version of that wheel came with a couple of extra spokes which would make repair easy. Due to the low spoke count I would not recommend an inexperienced person replace the spoke themselves.

Thanks, Russ, searched many shops but they all did not have the spoke I needed. Do you have any recommended shop?
