Broken Spokes - Am I going to start chasing a problem?
I know, there's a spoke thread going already, but I didn't want to hijack it and my questions are a little less involved - I think.
Last week, I broke my first spoke. I was dismayed because I had to hand my bike over to the LBS and I was bikeless for a few days. It's 50 miles later, and I've broken another spoke. I'm riding on the rims that came with my Giant Defy 2. Both spokes were in the rear. I'm riding on typical country roads. Some parts smooth, some parts are like rolling over cobblestone. I don't hop curbs or do anything that I know can be hard on rims. Oh, I'm 288#
28 Spokes
rims Mavic CXP22
hubs Formula sealed Cartridge Bearing 24/28h
spokes SAPIM Race, 14/15g
Is this common? Is it just my turn to break spokes? Or is this indicative of a problem that won't be fixed by just having the LBS replace the spoke and re-true the wheel? I'm afraid I'll spend another 2 days without the bike and $35 on spoke/retrue only to have another spoke break in 50 miles. I'm toying with the idea of a new rear wheel, but I don't have much money to spend right now.
