We all have our pet theories about spoke breakage, but when it happens this soon, I prefer to call it a fluke and let what happens later drive my process. If no other spokes brak for a long while it truly was a fluke. OTOH, if more spokes break and.or the interval gets progressively shorter, then I start searching for possible answers.
Thank you, this seems spot on. The spoke was elbow in. Hm. I'm hoping like you said it was just a fluke.
