In the last three months I have snapped 4 rear spokes, all drive-side. Have had the wheel professionally rebuilt, and made sure I was at the shop when they checked each spokes tension. I weigh 68kg, ride a 29er HT and do XCO and XCM exclusively. Rim has never been damaged in a crash,
on all instances of spokes snapping, none has been caused by rocks hitting/entering the wheel.
Am starting to wonder if there is something wrong with the hub flange perhaps? The straight pull spokes are also a pain to get replacements for as every bike shop I ring up plays the whole "your the first person we've ever heard this happening to, so we never carry these particular spare spokes"
Any ideas on alternate diagnosis's please?
