Or ...good quality undertensioned spokes will break due to fatigue.
I just reread it. Sorry about that. Poor quality spokes cause breakage problems. Roy bought a tourer from Bikes Direct and the rear wheel began breakiing spokes right away. We rebuilt the wheel with DT double butted spokes and the trouble stopped.
I should have seperated the thought. Low spoke tension will cause breakage.
