breaking spokes on lightweight rims.
So I was looking at the carbon sports website and I read that the carbon spokes are laminated right into the rims. What the hell do you do if you break a spoke? is that just it? the whole wheel is shot or can you send it back to them?

If you break a spoke, the wheel is done. They do not repair broken spokes, as they have no way of putting the replacement under tension. If you crack a rim, they will repair that damage.
They do offer a lower price on the replacement wheel if I recall.
