I'm a bit worried that it's 5 pm and I haven't heard from the shop yet. Though I'm still okay for Saturday's big ride if it's ready tomorrow.

I'm going to bring the old wheels home, keep the front as a back-up and practice using the FiberFix temporary spoke on the rear, so I can be more prepared the next time.

I noticed that the multi-tool that I keep in my mountain bike seat bag has a spoke wrench on it. I never new what it was before. If I can get better at emergency spoke repairs, the whole experience will have been worth it. The adorable little multi-tool I use for the road bike doesn't have a spoke wrench, but I bought one to keep with it.
