Re: Broken Spokes [danielito]
Has anyone ever broken a spoke on a Rolf Vector Pro? This thread's got me thinking, and I would imagine that, due to the low spoke count on these wheels (14 front, 16 rear) a spoke breakage on this wheel could be pretty ugly. Also, the bladed spokes seem like little knives if they were whipping around. Would a broken spoke on this wheel (or any wheel with bladed spokes for that matter) cause significant damage to the fork or the chain/seatstays? I'm wondering if it wouldn't be a good idea to rebuild these periodically just to be safe. I'm not that heavy (163 lbs) and haven't broken a spoke yet in over 4000 miles- just curious what everyone thinks. I'm taking my bike in next week for it's major tune-up before Vineman, so I could have my LBS do this at that time.
