spoke questions

Rear wheel developed a squeak twice a rotation. Thought it was kind of odd, so I started plucking at the spokes and wouldn't you know it but there is a spoke that is not quite as taut as the others. Anything I should expect on my visit to the LBS tomorrow?

you should expect to pay $30 for maaaayyybe 30 minutes work, max?

(blue loctite, for when you absolutely positively want no non-drive slackening even tho your wheel is undertensioned).

wheel was true and no rim wobble so my LBS guy just gave the loose spoke a couple of turns, no more squeak. cost: $0.00

^^I'm pretty sure my front wheel needs exactly this too.
