i have had many problems with snapping spokes on the rear wheel of my road bike. a spoke will snap for no apparent reason. i will got it fixed & then shortly another one will go. it's only on that rear wheel. the wheel's aways repaired by a bike shop who uses a tension meter. my mountain bike never snaps spokes nor does the front wheel on this bike snap spokes. i was just looking at the spokes closely & discovered that the rear wheel spokes are just chrome plated no name spokes. my mountain bike has dt spokes, on the front wheel that was rebuilt around a hub dynamo. the rear spokes are wheelsmith's. on the road bike, the front wheel spokes are dt's also & it was rebuilt around a hub dynamo. i just was compairing the no name spokes against a dt spoke & discovered that the bends on the dt are smaller & the ball at the ends are thicker. i tried a dt spoke in an old hub & compaired the fit against a no name spoke. the dt fits tight, while the no name has play & fits sloppy. is this causing flex at the hub with the no name spokes? this is where they are always snapping. would it make sense to rebuild this wheel with dt spokes? it's a sun double wall rim that's only a year old & the hub is new also. most bike shops use quality spokes, but this wheel was built with generic spokes by some company, not a bike shop. is the dt spokes that much better? they are stainless, & the generic spokes are chrome plated steel...
