I figured since the wheel will take 100 bucks to replace that I might as well get an upgrade. I have had my trek soho 1.0 since christmas of 2007 and never had a spoke break until I had crashed about 300-400 miles back. Maybe 6 months ago.

I'm just frustrated with how many flats and how many broken spokes I've had in the past 2 months. Cost me around 150-200 bucks.
