    i did this a few years ago. get the spokes from your local shop.
    its not hard just a bit time consuming. i priced getting it done by and it was not cost effective
    it doesnt need to be perfectly true as its a kids bike and the rim is possibly a bit out too. you can get it pretty close , witin 2-3 mm, in a shed.put it on the axle in a vise and adjust of a fixed point until its true.
    your local shop mech should be willing to explain it when you order the spokes
    give it a go
    good luck

    I did mine, you just take them out in the pairs they sit in. my wheel had less than 1thou buckle in the end. Its only a JR50 so not going lightening speeds too......

    Cost $80 from memory to have mine put in - didn't think it was bad at all for the time it would have taken us to do having never done one before.

    again, its not hard.

    it is a really simple task to re spoke a wheel, even from scratch
