The question still remains,...what broke the spokes.


As far as repair goes, if you changed out the tire, why can't you remove the tire, the spoke strip, then inspect for any rust, then replace the broken spokes ??
Tighten them evenly, but not too tight. Then check the wheel for running true, (runout) either using the axle in a vise, or install just the wheel back on the bike, and use a block off the frame to check the runout.
That would work. A bit time consuming but the cheapest way to go. A proper spoke wrench would be needed but so what, if you have one you will never need it again.
