I knew immediately each and every time it happened. And every time I had to adjust the brake clearance and adjacent spokes to get home. I can't imagine how sloppy a road bike would have to be adjusted to mask a broken spoke, high spoke count or otherwise.
I was thinking that since the bike had disc brakes, the OP would hardly notice it. I only notice some of my broken spokes due to a click in sound or brake rub
