Hiya dont often post much on here, was looking for some advice please....

someone ran into my rear wheel at castle combe last sunday and broke 9 non drive side spokes on my campy
neutrons. I have seen spoke kits available but would have to buy multiple kits that would be costly,

so should I do this or would the wheel need rebuilding? the rims quite warped. Or would it be the same cost
(spokes,rebuild labour) to buy a new wheel/set?

secondly would any other spokes fit these wheels?

Many thanks in advance people.

    Neutrons are built in a very specific way, I have repaired soem but they are very difficult to get perfect, speak to Graeme at www.velotech-cycling.ltd.uk as he is able to sort them out and provide the spokes,

    Sapim CX Ray straight pull will fit and be pretty much the same thing, but you have to keep all the spoke washers on the nipple side and on the head side. Can't recall the size
    A bent rim of that weight cannot be fixed in a bench vice, without seeing it it's hard to say if it's warped due to the collapse of the NDS or it's bent.

    Horrible wheels to rebuild...
