Steve has a Mavic X139 rim with Deore hubs and has done around 5000kms
mostly offroad. We were to go on a 3 day ride and sadly only 30kms into the
ride ( he had back panniers but only with a weight of approx 3kg each side)
he broke a couple of spokes and we had to limp home
Since then LBS has replaced the spokes and wheel looks quite straight again.
Question is - should he respoke with heavier duty spokes or is it time to
get a new rim? We dont want another failure - it upset our weekend plans
bigtime.
What would you do?
