Hi
i have a old school gt bike.
I had been getting several puncturess.
I've taken the wheel off and noticed i have a spoke which is bent.
How much would a rebuild be,and on a old bike would it be worth it.
Would it be nearly as cheap to buy a new wheel.
Its a rear wheel by the way a mavic x
thanks

Any decent bike shop should be able to fix that for about a tenner at max, including truing and probably including a quick grease up of the hub too
