I cannot remember if they were breaking at the nipple or at the elbow, but I recall being surprised at the way they were breaking... so it is likely it was at the nipple because most spokes break at the elbow.Nope.Laced properly all around.

edit:
If the wheel is laced wrong then correcting this will give you and extra mm or two of length to use to correctly tension the wheel!
