Half-radial rebuilding NEW Factory wheel
I traded my LIGHTLY used Performance Tital rear wheel (basically the same as Supergo Korso & Neuvation M28 aero) for a new replacement after breaking the second spoke in a sprint (I weigh 150 lbs; wheels saw something like 300 miles).
Problem is now that I've lost confidence...
I read somewhere that those thick (12ga?) bladed spokes are of poor quality (spokes broke at nipple).
I also read in previous threads that a problem might be uneven factory spoke tension.
What can I do to strengthen this new wheel, besides checking/adjusting spoke tension?
Sheldon Brown suggests radial lacing the non-drive side of a rear wheel if spoke breakage occurs here (as it did on the original wheel).
So I'm thinking of removing all non-drive side spokes (on this NEW wheel) and replacing them with some higher quality 14ga (thinner than stock) spokes (and radially lacing them). Any suggestions on what kind of spoke? Given the low spoke count (20), would 14ga spokes be unwise? I could replace the spokes with 10 Sapim CX-Ray spokes for about $30 or so...
Thank you for any & all suggestions & feedback
