Spoke coming loose
Hello
3 times on a ride today the front wheel ran massively out of true and I had to stop. Spoke had came loose and a quick nip up with key made it fine for 20 miles or so. Not sure if it the same spoke but suspect it was.
Any ideas? Are the nipples oval and work like a stove nut?
Easiest route a new spoke and nipple?

I thought that, but it goes up tight and I just checked and can't see which one I did up last

The wheel needs to be properly tensioned it not just a case of getting it straight.http://www.thecycleclinic.co.uk -wheel building and other stuff.0
