    Nice and simple, I've got a broken spoke. Should I keep riding untill I
    can get it fixed in two more days or should I wait the two days? Will
    it cause unrepireable damage? Damage to the hub? Weaken?

    It shouldn't damage the hub but it'll put more strain on the rest of the
    spokes and you might break a few more. Worse case, you'll bend your
    rim as well and make it a lot harder to true. Just riding around
    you'll probably be fine, jumping off stuff isn't a good idea

    I've got a DX and have had a broken spoke for a couple months. My [censored]
    squeaks real bad, but I'm not worried about the integrity of the rim.
    I've got 48 spokes, most only have 36.
