I had a problem with the spokes breaking on my Trek 7.2 Fx. I would get up to 2-3 broken before having them repaired. The last time I took them to this little shop where the owner had a nasty reputation for being a condescending smartarse. He told me those low end Bontrager wheels had cheep spokes and recommended I let him rebuild it with better quality spokes for a hundred bucks. I took the bait, and now 1k miles later, not another broken spoke. Bought my entry level road bike from the guy, and will probably be buying my first carbon bike there too.
