A few (I didn’t get an exact count) spokes seem to be super loose at random intervals around my rear wheel. I haven’t noticed the same on my front.
Wondering if I can fix them on my own and a few follow up questions.
If it’s not an easy fix on my own should I expect the shop to charge a lot?
Would it be theoretically DIYable but require a weird tool that would cost more than what I’d pay a shop to run me?
I bought the bike as a complete so I’m not sure the exact model of wheel but it’s a 26 inch WTB, would something like this be considered totaling it?
Thanks

They can be tightened as long as they aren’t broken, the tool is quite cheap. I’d look up a video on “how to tension bike spokes” and see if it seems like something you’re comfortable with performing.
bike shop should charge on the neighborhood of $15-$30 for tensioning the wheel.
