Spoke come lose on a Mavic Crossland rear wheel

Hi,
I was hoping someone could offer up some advice. My rear wheel has popped a spoke from the hub. It's a Mavic Crossland and I don't know how to get it back on the hub.
This will probably sound really dumb, but I've never had to touch a wheel (bar replacing casettes, tyres etc) and I'm a bit lost where to start.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
I would take it to the local LBS but I need it good to go for Sunday
Cheers T1b

You will need to slacken of the nipple and then hook the spoke back in and then tension up the spoke. and then check the tension in the rest as it is likely that they are all low.
If the LBS can not do it. buy/beg/borrow a new/used wheel.

the very least need a new spoke. Also the wheel is probably out of true because of this.
Once you get the new spoke you will need to remove the rim tape in that area, install new spoke, replace rim tape, tighten spoke to proper tension(with proper tool), then re true the wheel as best you can.
All this could be a moot point if the spoke is not broken and has "popped" from the hub
as you said. This could mean that there is a problem with the hubs spoke hole(which I doubt). I'm still thinking actual broken spoke. Is it indeed broken? :?: :?:

Thanks for the replies. On the crossland hub it takes a tapered spoke, this appears to have "popped" off the hub. I know that sounds mental but it was recently in a bike bag and that's when I think it took a mild battering and came off the hub.
I guess taking it to the LBS is my only option. censored . they want £15 to "look" at it :shock:
this wheel uses a straight pull spoke that sits in a slot in the hub.
and they often "pop" out. even on the Mavic DeeMax's.

So how do I "pop" it back in?
dont worry about dennisn comment as he his thinking of standard hubs and spokes.

Yes I was and I appoligze for thinking I knew what I was talking about. :oops: :oops:
nick- I'm not a mtb'er, so here's what may be a stupid question. Why are there slots
in the hubs instead of holes? Or am I missing something again? :? :?
Dennis Noward
I understand straight pull spokes. I have a Mavic wheelset(road) with then, but they don't
have slots, only holes. There is no way that my spokes will ever "pop" out unless they
break or pull through the hole. So I'm still a little lost on why the slots :? :??
Dennis Noward
bloody stupid, in my humble opinion.
