You'd have to have that spoke under massive load to break the rim like that unless the rim was already knackered.
Check your front rim for wear on the brake track. It might be time for two new rims. FWIW, if you have the right size spoke wrench, you could do the rim swap yourself and just take the laced up wheel to a shop for truing. Just make sure you're using an experienced wheel mechanic. I've replaced a few worn out rims just by taping the new rim to the old and "moving the spokes over". I build my own wheels, but the rim swap method is fast and allows one to reuse the spokes and nipples. IanA The process is described in this YouTube video. I haven't watched it through, just wanted to illustrate my meaning https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=%23&ved=2ahUKEwiaiYyPwKvjAhVSoFsKHRkIArsQwqsBMAF6BAgIEAg&usg=AOvVaw0VTJzWxrN8ZFOD4xbU2nov -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
