I know........I got hosed pretty good and now I either need to ride PAMBA's downhill race missing a spoke or borrow a 29er wheel from someone who doesn't mind a little abuse. Or course, if I smash it I'll replace it. Anyone?

I may have to grow old, but I'll never have to grow up.
you've had an awful lot of problems with those "bomb-proof" Easton wheels....
I s'pose you can use the front wheel from the 'Box - Salsa Gordo/Hope Hub, 36 spoke. Highly doubt you're gonna cause it any harm ;-)
What's your fork's axle requirement?

I've most likely got a wheel for ya
ANYTHING can be fixed...how badly do you want it?

Haha! Just rubbing you a bit. No one likes an "I told you so" so I apologize for that. I just know your riding style can be hard on bikes. There's a lot to be said on a high quality hand built wheelset.
That aside, my rear won't work with your bike as it's a 150mm hub.
Bummer.

Get an extra spoke? I have replaced spokes in my wheels with spares from Bike and Hike/Healthy Habits on multiple occasions. Bring in your wheel and they can figure out the right length. Or race it with the missing spoke. I really doubt riding with a missing spoke is going to cause the wheel to fail even with the way you ride. Loosen the two spokes adjacent to the broken one a little to correct any misalignment if it is a problem.
Ribbing. Not rubbing. Ribbing, dammit. Thanks autocorrect.
RIBBING. like teasing.
Ribbing.

What is it? 142x12?
