Every now and then some spokes on my MTB (has happened also with my road bike) break when riding on the hube end (I have Disk Brakes so I've been able to finish the ride), last time I was going down on the road at some speed (around mph) and two broke, they bent (the nipple end stayed on the rim) and the broken end hit me on my leg a couple of times it wounded me, it left a small scar and the bike wobble, it scared me since I didn't know what had happened.
What is going on? The rims are the ones that came with the bike (maybe not great quality) but I asked for a solution, maybe buy a new set of wheels (Mavic Crossland I think are expensive but if they worth it is O.K) a guy at the LBS told me to replace all spokes and I'll be good to go, it will be cheaper and maybe better than the lower spoke count on the Crossland (I'M not sure if this is the models name they have disc compatibility and are offered either alum or black finish) and since the Mavic's spokes are straight it will be a little difficult to find them is replacement is necessary.
What do you guys think? What about the Road bike? I weight 200lbs more or less.
