Re: Broke my spokes

No, not enough. The spokes are in tension not compression. If you don't have the knowledge and equipment to do this correctly, and I don't know anybody outside of a shop that has the right stuff, get it to the shop and let them do the work. Some shops will replace all the spokes, because they believe that mixing used and old spokes isn't a good idea, I don't know, but I have read a lot of guys only replacing the damaged spokes without any problems.
