Whats the spoke count?

If they are low count wheels and at 230 lbs this may be an ongoing problem. I was riding a set of 20/24 eastons last year and I'm 225 and within a month I broke my first rear spoke, about a month later a second. I threw in the towel and sold them and contacted Psimet who built me a sweet 28/32 count wheel that is rock solid and even lighter than the lower count eastons.

Just something to think about
