All of my spoke breaks were due to load/unload on the drive. The wheel was under-tensioned, so every time I pedaled, the leading spokes would almost completely untension, then retension when I hit bottom stroke. All of the spokes broke right at the elbow, which is typical for this kind of problem.
I've never had a front wheel spoke break.
