I'm not light (93kg / 205#) and I have been using an omega19 rim with lotsa spokes (36) for a few years (10?) on the commute bike (freewheel) - originally built by campag - and I try to keep them reasonably true......
6 weeks back I broke a spoke, non-drive side - first one ever!
3 weeks back I broke a spoke, drive side
last night I broke a spoke, drive side
Do they all go at the same time? Why?
Will another one break in 3 weeks time?
Is it time for me to read all the wheelset threads?
(actually I have a superbe pro hub that is looking for a velocity OC rim )....
