I had some wheels built about a year ago. After about a month one of the spokes broke on the front wheel. I got it replaced that day by the local shop. A few months later another one went, and again I got it replaced. This weekend two more broke.

I’ve contacted the online shop (who I believe has a good reputation) to see what they think, but what is the STW view? Does it need a re-build, should I try and get the shop to pay.

For reference it is a handbuilt XM719 on a hope hub, I’ve not done anyhting crazy on them and the rear wheel is still fine and true.

Getting your LBS to replace a spoke has significantly weakened your case. They could have got the spoke tension wrong etc. Where are the spokes breaking?

without any more info, it sounds like a low tension build has finally gone south – time for a rebuild.
