If paying, how much, vs. how much for a new wheel?
Is the rim OK, ie. little brake crack wear, no stress cracks at spoke holes, no dents, etc?
Comparable quality replacement wheel?
As a rule, I generally replace spokes, and think replacement after the third, or when the interval between spoke breaks becomes too short.
No, I wouldn't be doing the work myself. The price for a new Wheel Master Sun Rim M13ii is $82. The old (2005) Sun Rim M13ii appears to be okay in terms of cracks/dents. My reasoning for buying a new one was just not to have to worry about some other problem developing with the old wheel.
