" My rear hub broke this morning on my way to work. "


May I, also suggest , for commuting , a more common ,say, 32, 2xf/36,3xr spoke,, cross wheel..
[lower tangent, 3 & 4 cross is even less spoke pull out subject..]

to be just more durable and practical.. given that is what you're using the bike for, ...


Yea they bought DT bladed spokes, the paired holes allow enough room for the blade to pass through..

have wheelbuilder use round DB spokes this time..
