The reason for the break was that the rim had been sprayed black and had caused some of the nipples to become locked to the rim. Replacing a spoke meant having to re-tension the whole wheel which meant chipping off the paint near the nipples, oiling them up a bit and replacing some of the nipples where the flats had been rounded.

Linseed oil all the way and Velox cloth rim tape to finish.
