    New hub - worst case.

    Actually, I would suggest a new wheel. If the rim has bent quite a bit,
    which would be the case with a bunch of lose spokes, you'll never be
    able to true it properly again. And forget about re-using the spokes
    and nipples. They will be prone to failure if you do.

    Since you mentioned that you don't quite know why you fell, could it be
    possible that you fell because the hub broke due to a defect? Worth
    looking into, and you may get a free replacement wheel from the
    manufacturer.

    The biggest problem is I can not find anywhere to buy these hubs
    (SRAM/SACH drum brakes). The original manufacturer is trying to source
    some for me but in the mean time I'm trikeless and unhappy.

    Have you tried one of the shops that do tandems and recumbents, like
    Tandems ?UNlimited? in ?Alabama? (sorry for the question marks, but
    its been a long day and I'm tired of doing searches to check) or
    College Park Bikes/Mt. Airy Bikes in Maryland? They have a lot of
    similar stuff and big parts bins.

    The Sachs drum brakes hubs are rather fragile according to one trike
    manufacturer.
