So I take it to the shop to get it fixed and ask if there is any thing that can be done to help prevent this from happening again. He said that the wheel might be on its last leg. I would think that I could get more miles out of this set before replacing. The first 1400 miles I didn't have any problems other than having it trued after the first 500 miles. Do you guys think that there is anything that can be done to get some more miles out of the wheel?

Thanks,
i bought a used mavic ksyrium sl rear wheel and have put on like 3000 miles on it not one spoke broken yet. i also wiegh 260 pounds. i had a rear coda/mavic wheel that died after only 500 miles spokes kept breaking.
