I’m having a continuing problem with breaking spokes on my commute home.
I use a Cannondale CAADX 105 with a pannier rack. I’m about 95kg at my heaviest, and the panniers hold at the most 5kg.
Recently when riding home on various Sustrans cycle paths south of York I keep finding that I break spokes on a regular basis. this is probably due to the surface becoming more broken by tree roots raising up the path in ridges. I like the route as it is traffic free for 6.5 miles of my 11.5 mile route, so don’t really want to find an alternative if possible.
I’ve had the rear wheel rebuilt with DT Swiss spokes, but the problem is still occurring.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can solve this problem?
If the consensus is to get a new rear wheel, what would you recommend? Needs to be qr and disc. As usual I don’t want to break the bank.
