changing a spoke

20$ is a bit steep. but it ay have been there first unicycle, so they
may have had trouble with the cranks or with the truing stand, or spoke
tension gadge.

it is tipically around 1-2 bucks for a spoke and 10-15 bucks to true a
wheel.
sheldon brown has good tutorials for stuff like that, but i recomend
getting a truing stand before replacing spokes.

the best way to prevent broken spokes is even tension and brass
nipples.

'Sheldon Brown's' (http://sheldonbrown.com/wheels/index.html) tutorial
is excellent, i built my first wheel (a 36"😉 using it a few weeks ago.

I used Sheldon Brown's tutorial too when I replaced two spokes a few
weeks ago. I didn't use a truing stand, I just held the uni upside down
and used the eye and the thumb method. I think it's true enough, but I
have no way of checking it.

But then again, it rides very well and that's all that matters.
