So, we're out riding, and DH has broken yet another spoke. I SWEAR he goes through spokes like I go through innertubes --well, no, more of them!
As we're on the side of the road making adjustments that will get him home, I suggested that MAYBE we should go see if there's a tougher wheel to be had. Or MAYBE there's tougher spokes out there and we could just get enough of them and rebuild the danged wheel with spokes that he couldn't break!
I THINK I've noticed a pattern -- I'm pretty sure they're always on the left side of the wheel, and he's got this nasty habit of twisting his heel IN to clip out. I mentioned it to him, but he CLAIMS that he's unclipping that one when he's in a forward position.
Are there better spokes for big guys than what comes stock on a comfort-beast?
