OK, here's the problem…I'll try and keep this brief
Merlin wheel build got spokes mangled by chain thrown over top sprocket
I've sorted this by taking greater care with limit screw on the mech
Mangled spokes replaced – and wheel trued easy/peasey
Every now and again I'm getting spokes snap and not just the replaced one's – this has gone on over the months
spoke snaps – replace, true wheel and tension – ad infenitum
I'm thinking I'm over tensioning the spokes – but without the experience or a fancy gauge I'm guessing (?)….Thought is now to get a complete rebuild by someone who know's what they're doing
