That's what I thought. Maybe I can just get the wheel re-tensioned (elsewhere) in town. It's a good wheel, and then I'll have a spare.
You're correct; it's a disk wheel. (Unsuprising on a mid-range MTB, of course).
Thanks! I was getting them breaking at the hub. I'm heavy, but not THAT heavy and I rarely even dropped off kerbs, let alone jumps and the rest that bike should take fine..
One thing to be aware of is that the remaining spokes may be fatigued from being detensioned. You might consider having the wheel rebuilt with new spokes, at least on the drive side. You could take the opportunity to upgrade to butted spokes which would also improve your wheels reliability.
195lbs should not be breaking spokes on any stock wheel.
