Yo, Psimet. I broke my first spoke on a 28-spoke Mavic Open Sport rear wheel using a generic Specialized hub with straight-pull spokes. The wheel has over 42,000 miles on it, and the spoke broke right at the nipple "just riding along." I assume it was from 42,000 miles of stress cycles, and that the other spokes are nearing the end of their life, too. I think it's more cost and time effective to just replace the whole wheel at this point. Agree?
