Popped a spoke on both my road bike and MTB. Had both replaced at the same bike shop with a wheel true. Now they're snapping for fun.
Any ideas as to how to fix em? Could the shop be over-tightening the spokes perhaps?
Is it the replacements that are going or the orginal ones? on same side/wheel?
If it's the originals and some have already gone (which was why you went to the LBS) then it may be they're just 'old (tech term) and a re-lace with new ones is the fix?
Good advice.
It's the originals. Get 'em all replaced at once?
Once the first one goes, the rest are usually on their way.
Rebuild with new spokes/miles is usually the least painful solution.
they are all fatigued.
Short of a big impact then fatigue will be why the first snapped.
the rest as part of a set with the same level of use will be as fatigued and follow soon.
