I took unnecessary risk riding with 2 broken spokes and I didn't go far, so I don't blame you there. Once 2 more broke for 4, I decide to park it til I fixed it.
I was dreading the task as I had zero experience with the tire change process and never messed with spokes before, ever. I just accepted that I had to figure it out just like every other part of this bike.
50 bucks in tools and parts or 200 for a new wheel of the same questionable quality. Or more $ for a known quality that may or may not fit.
