I broke a spoke this morning on the way in to work. Or, I should say,
another spoke. It's a Trek 7100 hybrid with a pack on the back so
there is a lot of weight on the rear wheel and that's where the spokes
break.
I break at least three a year, or more. Often in bunches, I broke one
a few weeks ago. I tried squeezing them a bit every week or so which
is supposed to ward of breaking spokes.
Now I'd just like to put a good wheel on the back and stop breaking
spokes. Is it better to get a wheel with fewer spokes but thicker?
Suggestions are open. I'd like to keep it cheap, but it's the one
thing I really dislike about commuting by bike and will spend what it
takes to get one that won't break. Thanks.
