broke a front spoke today. Is it necessary to pull the rim tape off to change it? I was hoping to avoid having to re-tape the wheel. Thanks

No, just keep the nipple from falling into the rim

Do what you like. Stop hating people for their riding habits and get back to hating them for their skin color, religion, politics, and sexual orientation.

Any tips on getting the spoke out of the nipple?

liberal amounts of wd-40 maybe?

You can put a couple of drops on the threads, if it doesn't come loose, then just poke a hole in your tape. Make you repairs and re tape that hole only. Sometimes I put a pice of extra sticky shipping tape over my Stans tape to help it stay down. .
